DVD Talk Review: Backstairs at the White House (1169 words) |
 | And so the series is really two shows at once: a compelling portrait of dedicated White House servants constantly at the mercy of political winds and eccentric whims of their charges, and the irony of working class fls struggling to pay their rent while caring for the most powerful figures in world history. |
| After Roosevelt's unusually long stay at the White House, the postwar years with Harry and Bess Truman (Harry Morgan and Estelle Parsons) and Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower (Andrew Duggan and Barbara Barrie) are almost jarring. |
| Backstairs at the White House is presented on four single-sided DVDs, with one episode per disc. |
