    When RCA Victor was fooling around with their video disk Technology they released a 90 minute version of the great TV documentary "VICTORY AT SEA". This version was edited of course from the original 26 part TV series but was superbly edited and
    narrated by Alexander Scourby not Leonard Graves as in the original version.

    Can anyone tell me about this version of the series? What year did this come out and is it available? It was very well done and moved very well compared to the much longer version.

    Of course we are comparing Apples and Oranges here but I am interested in getting any information on it.
