Victory at Sea - title card.jpg

   

Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare
in general during
World War II, and naval warfare in particular,
as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally aired
by
NBC in 1952–1953. It was condensed into a film released in
1954. Excerpts from the music soundtrack, by
Richard Rodgers a
nd
Robert Russell Bennett, were re-recorded for record albums.

The original TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segments—
Sunday afternoons at 3pm (EST) in most markets—starting on
October 26, 1952 and ending on May 3, 1953. The series, which
won an
Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program",
played an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a viable television genre.
