Wiki.
World War One is an American documentary television series that was shown on CBS during the 1964β1965 television season to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the start of the war.
The series, which was produced by CBS News and featured 26 half-hour episodes, was narrated by Robert Ryan. The original music score was composed by Morton Gould, and performed by Alfredo Antonini conducting the CBS Symphony Orchestra.
World War One premiered on Tuesday nights at 8 pm Eastern Time. Mid-season it was moved to Sunday nights at 6:30 pm. Ratings competition from the second half-hour of ABC's Combat! and the second half-hour of NBC's Mr. Novak may have precipitated this time slot change.
Re-released in 1995, the series is available on video tape and DVD but no US video-on-demand services have it. The series is available on YouTube.
