5.0 out of 5 stars This is the trip all right, September 1, 2003

By	Kevin Garvey (Deerfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews

No mistake, this DVD is about Route 66 the "Mother Road" and really not at all about the great TV show. But, if you want a wonderfully produced, nostalgic and thoughtful trip down US Route 66 from Chicago to LA this is the ticket. Much more history and witness interviews and reminiscences than I thought would be captured. Its a pretty long video.. 2.5 hours! But, if actually travelling (vicarously?) the road in a C1 Corvette with a fun and entertaining movie star is what you want, I say again, this is right on the spot.'

The music is mostly newly recorded versions and variations of the TV's show great "Theme from Route 66" and with Martin Milner and a 'Vette identical to that from the show, you might consider this a new, feature length installment of the show. In a nutshell, this episode is primarily about the road and the car and a long magnificent drive through our country... instead of those things mostly being in the background on the TV show. And, if you are at all considering to do a nostalgic Route 66 trip this DVD is a must have resource for planning the sights and people you might want to visit along the way.

I loved the TV series too and I have a few of the episodes on VHS. But, even more, I love the actual road and the 3 trips I've made on it from Chicago to LA. Yes, get your kicks.

My DVD worked flawlessly start to finish. I bought it new from Amazon in Aug '03.

4.0 out of 5 stars Colourful, May 21, 2005

By	Mr. R. J. Percy (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was certainly looking forward to this dvd and having watched it my opinion is that whilst it is certainly interesting and one gets to "meet" some wonderful, colourful people on the journey that are locked in a time warp I was disappointed that one did not get to see more of the scenery instead of just jumping from one town or village to the next without seeing very little of what lies between. The scenary that was shown was very spectacular and I personally would have liked to have been shown more. But, do not be put off as the dvd on the whole is well worth every penny.

A classic ride on the Mother Road - Route 66. Great scenery and interesting Americana roadside attractions. Get off the Interstate and see the USA in a classic Corvette !
