Despite its focus on an important event and a fascinating moment in time, this film, with its old-school production values and tedious exposition, is a snore.

The World's Fair is always a huge event on the global calender, so fans will be delighted to know that they can now experience the 1893 happening in the comfort of their own homes! Narrated by Gene Wilder, this fascinating reconstruction of the event, which took place in Chicago, offers a look at many of the innovations that sprung forth in science and technology in this pivotal year for both fields. Millions of visitors witnessed new products such as the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack, while the festivities also extended to include simple pleasures such as belly dancing and plenty of alcohol consumption. EXPO: MAGIC OF THE CITY is a stunning reconstruction of the 1893 event, with the cutting-edge technology used in its production appropriately keeping within the spirit of innovation that the World's Fair has become known for.

Reviews for Expo: Magic of the White City
The vastness of this magnificent event is well represented here. However, if viewed all at once, could be a bit wearisome toward the end. Get the DVD, then watch it in halves.
