Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Burns' first film
Ken Burns made this film from David McCullogh's brilliant book on the difficulties Washington Roebling had building the Brooklyn Bridge. Ken Burns mines the archives to document the construction, but then adds a Part Two that chronicles the reaction of our culture to the fact of the bridge: high art (paintings, poems), popular culture (movies and songs, including Frank Sinatra's "good ol' Brooklyn bridge")and even ads for, among others, Singer sewing machines. The theme is that man can create something ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous documentary about the most famous bridge in the world
I just finished reading David McCullough's book "The Great Bridge, the Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge" which I bought on Amazon. Then I purchased Ken Burns' DVD. The bridge was built during the most incredible hardships, and was finished in 1883, and it is still in use today. As a native New Yorker, I am so proud of this bridge, I love to just look at it and dream.

The DVD is very informative, John Roebling's vision of a bridge scanning the two cities of New York and ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
I watched this a few weeks before a trip to NY and couln't wait to go after watching. It goes over all the interesting details about it being built. Nice documentary.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - inspiring documentary
this review is based on my recollection of the original PBS broadcast, which I remember as being in 1983; the 100th anniversary of the opening of the bridge. if this is slightly inaccurate, so be the rest of the review.

as a mid-westerner with no experience in new york, I found the Burn's interpretation of events compelling. i was studying for my engineering degree at the time and had worked in civil projects up to that point. i was stunned to learn that the plans were mostly pictures and ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good. Dated, but good.
While Ken Burns was getting his feet wet in the documentary film industry, he created this hour-long tidbit on the BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Relying on David McCullough's wonderful book, "THE GREAT BRIDGE" (see my review), Burns deftly takes the viewer down the long arduous road the builders and engineers had to take--over fourteen years--to get the bridge off the drawing board and into the East River.

The names of the protagonists and antagonist who either supported or stole from the coffers of the ... Read More
