 Rating:  - A Flawed MasterpieceAs a long-time fan of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing this film. In spite of a well-researched script, an abundance of historical photos and visuals of the Fair, and Gene Wilder's excellent narration, I was disappointed by it. Other reviewers have mentioned the "cheesy" and distracting modern-day footage of the dancing girl, zoo animals, fish in an aquarium, beer being poured into a glass, etc. I'd like to add some poor choices in the music heard on the soundtrack. ...

Mostly, I'd say it was the mood, the way it took me back to a time I did not know, but now have a sense of what it might have been like.

Attempting to re-create that comes along "Expo", designed to give the viewer a comprehensive look at that fair. To a degree, it succeeds. "Expo" outlines the history of the fair in detail and Gene Wilder's narrative is sufficient, if not overly compelling. The DVD takes way too much time to tell its story, evidenced by the cheesy updates in artists' renderings and suggestion. (If I saw one ... Read More Rating:  - Rip Off!"EXPO" is extremely disappointing. If authentic materials were so lacking, the feature should have been shorter--certainly the foolish modern footage of fish, belly-dancing, and beer-drinking should have been omitted. After reading "Devil in the White City," I thought this DVD would show the "city" Erik Larson writes about so vividly; but "EXPO--Magic of the White City" is a dull and anemic commentary.
