Great Documentary
by K. L. Stuart (Sterling, VA)
This is a story about one of our nation's greatest treasures! Full disclosure: My dad was the radio officer on the SS United States so this is personal. Anyone interested in what this country is capable of needs to watch. Well done video. Hats off to the producers and anyone involved in the project. Thank you.

Narrative on a forgotten icon
by D. Fiedler (PA USA)
If you missed this piece about the iconic ship SS United States when it aired selectively on PBS stations around the country, buy this DVD! It's the story of what has become of a once majestic ocean liner, moored and forlorn at a pier in South Philadelphia. A history of the ship's glory days and how she came by her present condition and dilemma is lovingly presented. This ship is a floating piece of history and Americana that deserves better, as the DVD recounts. Once you have seen this movie you'll want to join the SS United States Conservancy and find out how to help save her.
In fact, visit http://ssunitedstatesconservancy.org/SSUS/blog/ for more information about the SS United States, her current status and a movement underway to restore her to some semblance of her former glory. SSUSC was instrumental in helping to get this film made and released to DVD.

ss united states in waiting
by Timothy Moore
I thought the movie on the United States was was very good.I thing the film was sort a waist of money for those that put up the mony to make the film.The ship has seen her best days and I realy think its time for things to move on she wont be brought back its not worth it and there just is not enought people who care enought.I hate saying this but its true.I think it will go down as a try to save the ship but in the end it will fail.
4/5
An interesting and entertaining story
by DougO (East Troy, WI United States)
We first saw part of this documentary on the local PBS station. I caught my interest as I have good friends who had traveled on the SS United States.
The documentary is well arranged, provides enough detail, and informs and educates about a very proud legacy this country has, but I knew very little about. Very good combination of "then" photos with "now" video.
5/5
Even if you have no interest in ships, you'll love this movie
by K. Foreman (California, USA)
I admit that I have no interest in ships, and only watched this movie at the urging of people I trust. I am SO glad I did, because it was wonderful! I was caught up in the story immediately, and became riveted by this amazing story of the fastest cruise ship ever made. The reason the movie works so well is the way it is crafted, with anecdotes, comments, and reminiscences of people who knew and loved the ship, and stunning visuals of the ship in its glory days superimposed over stark images of the ship as it now rests, decaying slowly in the harbor. There's a great musical score that actually made me cry, especially at the end--and I don't cry easily. Look, all I can say is that no matter whether you love ships or wouldn't walk a block to see the Titanic if it reappeared out of the depths, you'll love this beautifully made, fascinating, funny, and astonishing movie.
