A fascinating PBS documentary about the great crash of 1929. First aired in 1990, it features film clips of the time and interviews with people who were involved with the stock market then, or their descendants - including the son of Groucho Marx. Not a textbook history, but a very entertaining film about the fads, fears, frauds, and follies of the human race that are still very much with us.
