4.0 out of 5 stars Great for educating kids on Greek life, costumes, and ideas, April 3, 2007

By	Fiona "Homeschool Mum of 4" (Caribbean) - See all my reviews

I showed this to my 5 and 7 year old after we'd studied Ancient Greece for 5 weeks. They both liked it a lot as it brought to life stuff they'd read. There's not a lot out there like this. And we find it really helpful to watch something at the end of a unit to cement the kids' learning. The 5 year old needed a fair bit of explaining. But still was fascinated by a guy choosing death because of his beliefs. Really well worth it. Bit of a shame all the actors had American accents! But a great and thoughtful production, nice and simple from the 50's I think without today's ridiculous emphasis on special effects which would have ruined the simplicity of such a production if it were made today.
