2 ’The Great War' episodes: the sinking of the Lusitania, the grinding horror of trench warfare, the big parade of two million young Americans marching to rescue Europe from the grip of Prussian militarism. Figures grown legendary with the passing of time are the key performers: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, King George and Queen Mary of Great Britain, Czar Nicholas II of Russia, Emperor Franz Josef of Austria-Hungary, King Albert of Belgium, President Woodrow Wilson, Colonel House, Field Marshal Foch, Field Marshal von Hindenburg, General John J. Pershing, and a score of others. The producer was the late Henry Salomon. The script, by Salomon and Richard Hanser, "has moments of unusual power and magnificent irony," wrote one critic. Robert Russell Bennett's orchestral score is "superb" and "tremendous," and Alexander Scourby's narration "eloquent," according to respective comments of three reviewers. Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell and Bayles is the agency for the sponsor. NBC -New York, 6/7/61
