Despite its focus on an important event and a fascinating moment in time, this film, with its old-school production values and tedious exposition, is a snore.

Reviews for Expo: Magic of the White City
The vastness of this magnificent event is well represented here. However, if viewed all at once, could be a bit wearisome toward the end. Get the DVD, then watch it in halves.
