Here in the U.S. this American mini series was watched by millions when first originally aired in 1976. Unfortunately, for us Americans this much loved TV series has yet to be released on DVD here. So, I ordered this release from Amazon.com UK which much anticipation. I own two region-free DVD players and I have many DVDs from around the world that I would otherwise not be able to watch if it weren't for my player. However, for some reason -- I don't know what -- my region-free DVD players will not play these discs. In fact, one of my region-free DVD players is a new player and will play any disc I put in there but not "Rich Man, Poor Man Book I." I did get Discs 1 and 3 to play but only momentarily. I was able to see ... Read More:

This film is even been used in school history lessons now. After viewing again after 1977 it still has not aged. Stll powerful compelling with outstanding character acting. Hard to beat, would watch again.

This was the first 'Count of Monte Cristo' film I ever watched.I had to admit,it was a huge favourite,and still is!If I may have a slight gripe,I just thought the film ended too quickly.I would have liked to have seen a lot more added to it.The French TV epic did this brilliantly,and whilst this effort could never hope to beat that,its still hugely enjoyable!

A snippet of time. The film made in the 70' with a seventies version of 60's hippies. There are some great views of the twin towers. As with many film adaptations of plays, I the effort to take advantage of the media the essence of the play can get lost. Sure the songs are there but the filler is just that. The play as seen in its many incarnations is inspiring and makes one want to read the gospel of St. Mathew. However this version takes great effort to get through. Also based on the book "The Feast of Fools: A Theological Essay on Festivity and Fantasy". Still this is the only recording we have to remember a play a time and a message. And the song "Day by Day" pretty much expresses the reason for the play and the reason to be part of the ... Read More:

8.Small Sacrifices [1988] starring: Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal, Gordon Clapp, John Shea, Emily Perkins directed by: David Greene June 07, 1993

I worked on this trial as a member of the judicial staff in Oregon, so have personal experience of Diane Downs, the witnesses, prosecutor and defense counsel. Like everyone else, I was very dubious when I heard that a film was scheduled for production. I was very surprised that when the film was released, it was a very accurate reflection of what I witnessed in the six-week trial. In fact, the film of the trial was less dramatic than the trial itself, especially when daughter Christie testified, which remains the most dramatic moment I have ever witnessed. Farrah Fawcett did a superb job, although to this day I don't know why she adopted a southern accent, when Diane doesn't speak this way. If you have read Ann Rule's book of the same name, you won't be disappointed.

I remember when this was first shown on TV and was living in London and it caused a lot of trouble. Not very accurate. Slavery was abolished about 100 years before the source of the Nile was discovered (Dr Livingston I Presume etc). However these people were running around in Africa with chains. The reality was that the slave ships bought the slaves from Arab (Can't remember seeing any in this series)Slave Traders(Who did know their way around Africa) who had traded for them from the tribes they came from. And they met the ships on the coast. Slavery was about MONEY not RACE. People who get rich by the exploitation of other human beings do not care what colour they are - all they care about is how much MONEY they are making out of them.
