DVD Reviews of The Collision of The Andrea Doria
DVD Review: Fascinating Subject, But Lame Production Values
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Collision of the Andrea Doria" is a fairly amateurishly made DVD that was evidently produced for the educational market. It is extremely expensive, and while some of it is fascinating, it has poor production values, and is generally not a good value for the money.
Apparently this was made in Kenosha, Wisconsin by a company named Southport Video Productions. While I agree that this is an interesting subject, the script and production in general come across as dated and amateurish. In particular, the repetitive narration device featuring a gentleman in a spartanly furnished office is boring at best. (This narration device reminded me of a similar device employed by J.R. Bookwalter in his opus, "Chickboxer.")
On a positive note, though, there is some interesting archival footage of the "Andrea Doria" and "Stockholm" featured. Several people (some of whom are survivors) are interviewed, and while I believe there is more than enough blame to go around in this case, the analysis seems biased in the direction of the Italian Line. Toward the end of the DVD there is more contemporary dive footage of the "Doria" shown, including some interior investigations, which were fascinating (if a bit disjointed.)
This is a good DVD for the "Andrea Doria" completist, but is grossly overpriced and amateurishly produced. I gave it three stars for good intentions and important subject matter.
