Cincinnati: Great, Near Great and Not So Great Moments in Cincinnati History Vol. 3

About This Movie

Cincinnati: Great, Near Great and Not So Great Moments in Cincinnati History Vol. 3 is a fascinating dive into the city's past, showcasing a blend of triumphs and tribulations. The pacing feels almost episodic, giving each segment a chance to breathe. You get a really interesting take on the Great Flood of 1937, which was a massive turning point for the area. I also appreciate the profile on Ival Goodman - not every documentary takes that deep of a dive into sports history. The tone is very much reflective, and the archival footage lends authenticity, though it can feel a bit rough around the edges at times. It’s a patchwork of moments that together paint a broader picture of Cincinnati’s evolution.

Segments on the Taft dynasty are particularly engaging.The historical context provides a unique lens on modern Cincinnati.The Albee Theater's story adds a layer of cultural significance.
