Best version, ever
22 August 2004 | by (Salmon, Idaho) – See all my reviews

I've never seen such attention to detail. However, I got the feeling that many scenes were left on the cutting room floor that would have made the movie even better. For instance, the feuding family that was after Buck could have been included. That storyline told so much about Twain's take on the senselessness of war. Also, the cast was incredible. It seemed that with every turn of the page, I was seeing another familiar Hollywood face, from Emma Thompson, to Butterfly Mc- Queen, to Lillian Gish. My God, the casting was just remarkable. Young Patrick Day was the most perfectly cast of all. I commend PBS on a spectacular accomplishment. I would love to see it shown more often.
