Genocide - 1982 - 6/10

Overview of the Holocaust, cloaked during World War II conflict.
Well intentioned documentary suffers a couple of problems.
Narrators. Orson Welles is fine. Years of radio work (Mercury Theatre, Suspense, Harry Lime), his voice is well honed. Elizabeth Taylor sometimes murmurs or whispers, unless she goes over-the-top melodramatic.
Visuals. Split screen usage is well done. Too many times, however, an image fills a small area of the screen.
Despite flaws, worth a watch, especially since our future seems poised for an ugly repeat.
