Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare in general
during World War II, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of
industry in warfare originally broadcast by NBC in 1952–1953 and condensed
into a film in 1954. Excerpts from the soundtrack by Richard Rodgers and
Robert Russell Bennett were re-recorded for record albums. The original
TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segments. The series, which won
an Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program", played
an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries
as a viable television genre. (Wiki)
