Quite good ..., 12 March 2001

I remember watching this mini-series on TV with my family while I was on summer vacation from college. (Wow, over a quarter-century ago).

I really enjoyed it. The cast was first-rate, especially Burt Lancaster in the title role. I especially remember the sorrow that Moses felt when he had to pass a sentence of death upon a lawbreaker. He had no choice, but he still grieved that such a thing would be necessary. I also remember the resistance that Moses encountered at every turn from the non-believers and power-seekers. Highly recommended.
