I just got finished seeing this historical drama. As a religious Jew, I wondered how the story would be played out on the big screen. I enjoyed it very much, even though it has a lot of "historical liberties". Overall, its a pretty good version of the Book of Esther, and while not as big an epic as The Ten Commandments, it still adds in a little "extra" drama to keep the non-Jewish audience interested. While not exactly what happened, most of the story is accurate.
Joan Collins is very beautiful, and gives a believable performance as Esther, and Dennis O'Dea is excellent as Mordcai. The Actors playing King Ahaserous, and Prince Haman, were just a little too clean-shaven and handsome; but that's Hollywood!
I will probably watch it again, before I un-tivo it...
