Fantastic Historical Mini-Series! A Treasure to Own & I Do!
This is Definately One of the Best Mini-Series ever Made! I Own this Historical Mini-Series! If you ever want to have a Great Film in your Collection as I do, Buy this now! Simply Put--Great Acting by the whole Cast! I Am a Huge Movie Buff & a Film Critic in my own right! The only little flaw in this movie to me was when Richard Jordan is approaching the Beautiful Mansion in Titusville! The set looked to phony! You could tell right off that it was just a Big Painting (I'm talking about the background)! This just lasted a few seconds, so this is really not a big deal at all! This is a Great Great Drama about Irish Immigrants coming to America as they actually did in real life with the hard-ships of just trying to survive. This great Mini-Series starts off in 1847 & spans to about 70 years later- going though the tough times of the Civil War & into the turn of the Century! Richard Jordan is Fantastic in the leading Role! He is very poor-but he has a vision of being very wealthy in the oil Business! Patty Duke's Performance is Excellent! Perry King as Richard Jordan is also Excellent as he is going to run for president against Woodrow Wilson in 1912. The Beautiful Barbara Parkins is very good also! Now we come to the actress Jane Seymore! This Lady in my opinion is the Prettiest Female that has ever ben on the screen! Sure there are very many fine looking females from Hollywood for years, but how can one really say that this is the prettiest lady of all time! You really can't! It's just your preference! I will day this though--I don't see how you can get any beter than Jane Seymore! When she wears the Fancy Beutiful Period Costume Dresses of this old era--She is the Ultimate! Beautiful & Sexy! You name it! I wish I was married to her! Yep--I'm just Dreaming! Ha! Anyway--Buy this mini-seies! It is Great & I mean GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
