Title: Patience is a virtue
Product review: I taped this program many years ago and as you'd expect, the quality wasn't so hot.(Then I foolishly loaned it to a friend who moved away.... duh!)Without a doubt, one of the best mini-series ever made; cast is outstanding, even Robert Conrad steps out of character and does a fine job as Pasquinel. Michael Ansara is wonderful as Lame Beaver; Alex Karras does his best work; Chad Everett,Gregory Harrison, William Atherton and Mark Harmon all believeable, even Timothy Dalton, whose wooden James Bond performances came later, is perfect as Oliver Seccombe.(And whatever happend to Christina Raines? what a beauty!!! )The last episode is a little preachy, but, 33 years later, quite clairvoyant.Both the novel and the mini-series can be re-read and re-watched over and over. Michener's best, I'd say.If you majored in History, you'll love this!!!'Bout time.... now when do they release "Once an Eagle"?
