Herewas documentary proof of World War II being fought on the highseas all over the world. The television viewers saw films taken fromten allied and enemy nations, films from private agencies and othersources around the world — films that men had died to take.“Victory at Sea” was previewed on the NBC Network on October 26,1952 on a Sunday afternoon. It started without a sponsor but soonafter the initial episodes, it was greeted with tremendous praise inthe press and throughout the nation. Since that time, it has beenreplayed consistently over television stations throughout the country.Richard Rodgers was commissioned to write the music for the series.At first he hesitated, but after seeing the initial run through of someof the programs, he was enthralled at the excitement and drama thatthe film clips created and he accepted the job on the spot. Neverbefore has music been so strong an element in the success of a pro-gram that is not essentially a musical program. Richard Rodgers’score contributed tenfold to the overall impact that “Victory At Sea”had on the public. The score contains all the recklessness and mys-tery and beauty that the naval war had to offer.The films comprise 26 half-hour television programs and marks thefirst time that the war at sea, as it actually was, was brought beforethe public.The listener ot this record will find that Richard Rodgers’ score com-pletely captures the mood with all its changes of the fantastic war atsea.
