Its the type of movie I wished I had taped and then could delete all the commericals but then again I got to see it for free.
I plan to buy the book and DVD and then once or twice a year sit down and watch it again. Its a classic keeper.
I guess I could go on and find 285 things wrong with the TV movie but I won't and in all fairness, it was worth every minute of the three hours it was on, and I wouldn't change one frame.
Voight was at his usual best, along with Ellen Burstyn and Michael Imperioli. Scenery was excellent and well done and the period costumes were great. I look forward to reading the book.
Steven Grayhm who played young Eddie was superb also.
This movie proves that television can produce a superior product when it wants to. It just doesn't seem to want to anymore, so that make this movie one to remember for a long, long time.
