- The Life of Leonardo Da VinciI was disappointed in this DVD, I expected more of a factual DVD, but this was more drama and I'm not sure how accurate.

- Leonardo da Vinci--A genius for the agesI first saw this drama-documentary more than 30 years ago on Armed Forces Television in Germany. I have been looking for it on tape or, recently DVD ever since.
The film was made in Italy, I believe, and done very well. Leonardo da Vinci is shown through all the stages of his life, as a young boy, through his apprenticeship, and subsequent career as artist, designer, engineer, and advisor.
Ever the curious, observant perfectionist, da Vinci watches the world and wonders ... Read More

- Worth seeing... heed the reviews here.I'm so glad I read the reviews before purchasing! I originally intended to buy this series on DVD, but when I read on Amazon that some of the original film had been omitted on the DVD version, I decided to go with the VHS version (if it's unavailable here, try ebay). I cannot imagine this series being nearly as enjoyable or informative without the narrator. Thanks to the other reviewers for their advice!

- Be Sure To Buy The VHS Version, NOT the DVD!My wife told me about having seen this series about Leonardo Da Vinci when she was a child.

She told me that the ... Read More

- Warning!: Bastardized LeonardoI would normally write a much longer review of this DVD, given the subject matter, AND would have given it 5 Stars. But, considering that this release by Questar is pointlessly a cut up, BASTARDIZED version of the original mini-series (which can still be had in its entirety on VHS, also from Questar), I am forced to focus more on what's wrong with this particular release, rather than extoll the astonishing merits of the wonderful film. Please avoid this version at all costs, and if you can, get the ... Read More
