DVD Reviews of The History of Warfare: French & Indian War
DVD Review: Rue de Montcalm
Summary: 3 Stars
I will give this DVD a slightly better ratting than others because it does mention some good details despite an overall poor narration. At 55 mins there are severe limits that anything in this series can do. With a subject as complex as the French and Indian War of 1756 it is no wonder this documentry falls short.
Lacking any kind of maps, the action is often difficult to follow unless you are familier with the names and locales. Even though this was done back in 1994 other titles in this series had maps. The talking heads are light weights. Stuart Reid, with his Scots brogue is featured in a number of this series. He is good with discussing tactics and mentions some decent details about the adaptability of British forces in this conflict. The development of Light Infantry companies and tactics would stand the British in well in this conflict and future ones to come.
The re-enactor footage is rather weak and redundant. The same groups are used for all the events shown. Some of the pictures used are distinctly from later periods, most notably the American Revolution and later! This is very sloppy and takes away from the production value.
The section dealing with Roger's Rangers is good and the re-enenactor who recites their warrior code is convincing.
Much of the story is taken up with the events at Quebec, where again a lack of any kind of maps takes away from following the action of the battle. Still, some nice details about the regiments involved and the British platoon firing that shredded the French attack are provided. Unforunatley little attention is paid to the second battle a few weeks later when Comte Levis takes his revenge on the British defeating them on the same field that Montcalm lost on.
Again, this is overall a weak production, but it does provide some decent details and can serve as an intro to the period. The little quiz at the end is a cute feature.
