Not to mention the editing techniques were silly. Sometimes scary music and crackly old film was used to convey how dark and sinister a piece of information was. Too dramatic!
People will do anything to get their hands on $30 billion worth of art... even defiling the dead and with it the public's trust. This is a compelling picture that sketches out a conspiracy that is as dramatic and alarming as any first-rate thriller.
I found myself constantly laughing at the ideology that Dr. Albert Barnes held. In an attempt to free of himself from the elitism of the art world, he in fact became one of the most elitist art collectors of all. I am more than thrilled that the Barnes collection is moving to the Philadelphia parkway. Although it appears to be some evil "scheme," the move was NECESSARY! A very biased and exaggerated documentary.

Amazing to learn of yet one more way that deep-pocket, politically connected organizations and power-drunk trustees, mayors and governors can team up to flout the law and claim that a public service has been accomplished. Fascinating how documentaries can uncover what our legal system does not. Freedom of speech ROCKS!
