Craptacular!

Oh my!  I am watching Part 1 of Encore's Special Miniseries - Hindenburg: The Last Flight!
Hindenburg Designer and Daughter of American Zillionaire,  Evil Mr. Van Zant.
Stacy Keach plays the  evil man - who plots to blow up the Zeppelin (not shown)
.
It is atrocious.  Also very very odd.  It is a German Co-Production and the blame for the tragedy is placed squarely on the Helium Embargo the Americans had in place.  So far they have been at it for 30 minutes and have yet to mention the government in Germany at the time (you know Nazi's).  The designers, the workers and the German diplomats that dine at the US Consulent (they call it an Embassy, but that was in Berlin) - none of them where a German Insignia.   At the Zeppelin port, the military uniforms somehow do not have any swastikas.
.
Interesting.
.
The casts' first language is clearly not English. The cadence is off and the pronunciation are odd.  Quite the interesting time of it all.  Watching a production of Yodas is it like.
.
But you know, I love it anyway.  I love the Zeppelin pictures and the whole idea of traveling on it.  And, had the evil Mr. Keach not held back the Helium AND planted a bomb on board, it never would have blewed up.
