Featured review
Narration
The narrator for the Victory at Sea series was Leonard Graves, not Alexander Scourby. Graves' name is credited at the beginning of each of the 16 episodes.
Also, as noted in Wikipedia, Richard Rodgers, fresh off several hit Broadway musicals, was retained to compose the musical score for the series. Rodgers would contribute twelve "themes"--short piano compositions a minute or two in length. Robert Russell Bennett did the scoring, transforming Rodgers's themes to fit a variety of moods, and composing much more original material than Rodgers. Nonetheless, Bennett received credit only for "arranging" the score and conducting NBC Symphony Orchestra members on the soundtrack recording sessions, and many writers still refer erroneously to "Rodgers's thirteen-hour score."
