The Worst Film Ever

hyped garbage

Awesome Movie

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I am working to bring Once An Eagle, the absolutely outstanding television miniseries, to the market after a 30+ year absence. Please visit my website www.once-an-eagle.com and leave your email message at "give us the miniseries" in the right-hand column. It will be consolidated and sent to NBC Universal as I am in touch with the appropriate executives. You will find plenty of other interesting information as well on the novel on which the miniseries was based, on the author Anton Myrer and much more. You can also see what numerous other miniseries fans have had to say. Site also includes the most comprehensive "Film Credits" on the internet and a reverse script of the miniseries. Let's make release of the miniseries a reality! NEW: go to www.youtube.com/onceaneagleguy to see miniseries excerpts.

This has to be one of the finest mini-series that I have ever seen. Sam Elliott is at his supreme best, gruff voice and all. I had seen it first when it came out and enjoyed it throughly. The mini-series lets you follow the life of a young soldier from his earliest beginnings of low rank to general. His nemesis is a conniving, devious rank climber without any morals whatsoever. It takes you from WW1 through WW2. Years later I read the book. As magnificent as it was to read, I still think the film was better. My greatest demur is that I have found it unavailable.If you should have a copy that I may share, buy or borrow, please let me know.

I first saw this while stationed in the Philippines in 1977, but missed a couple of episodes. In about 1981, I was able to see it again and made a VCR copy (Alas, commercials included). I have just about worn it out over the years. In my opinion, only one miniseries is better, that being "Lonesome Dove". I wish that someone would reshow it or somebody would make a DVD.

Shown in UK as part of best sellers series along with Captains and the Kings. Couldn't wait for each new part of the mini series still remember it after 27 years so it must have been good. Why doesn't someone show this series again?
