Kane & Abel

Pete Strauss makes Abel a character living on the broadway stage, over dramatic body language and speaking way. Can't belieive he is capable of giving speech lessons. Though his look at his 40s is ok, too old for his 20s. I wish it's the Russian captain actor acting the character of Abel.

I seen the mini series when aired on British TV and i enjoyed it very much.

Sam Neill was brilliant as William Lowell Kane my mother would have to disagree as she liked Peter Strauss as Abel Rosnovski as she had a soft spot for him as an actor.

I have now bought volume 1 & 2 on VHS.

But i can not find the volume 3on VHS any where if anyone knows where i can obtain it i would love to hear from you.

I would also like to find the 3 volumes on DVD also.

As the videos are for my mum who also loved the mini series.

And watch it once again.

i first saw this in 1992 and was amazed how this series captured what can happen in real life. the past few years i have tried to get a copy of it with out much luck till recently, it cost me a lot but it will always take pride of place in my movie collection.I think the combination of Sam Neil and Peter Strauss was in part the making of this mini series, they are both fine actors and played their parts to perfection, my partner would not have even considered watching something like this normally but sat through it because i had raved about it for so long and when it had finished he had tears in his eyes and said DAM BRILLIANT,he enjoyed it, and was glad that he had taken the time to watch it.

a Biblical suggestion. great cast. clever script. and a long battle between two men each with his way. a legendary series who seduce again and again. not only for acting or story but for special care to create its atmosphere. a film about success and self - definition who impose Peter Strauss and Sam Neail in two powerful roles. and the science to explore each detail of character, the air of 1980 years, the music, the dialogs, the costumes, the mark of different societies and the inspired direction are keys for an admirable work who use the drama nuances and the soap - opera tricks, who impose the dream as possibility and transforms the rules of fairy tale. a film about a competition. or a kind of war.memorable scenes and nice memories.

The title of this mini series probably fooled a lot of people - Kane and Abel - as suppose to - Cain and Abel. It was one of the best mini series I've seen on TV. Very good acting on the part of Strauss, Neill, Silver, Dukes & Fred Gwynne. I really enjoyed and appreciated the role of Davis LeRoy, it wasn't just his character, his voice captivated me, it was sad that he had to exit out the way he did and so quickly. This picture was so good, that I could watch it over and over again, without getting bored. To watch Strauss's incline and Neill's decline was something else, with Dukes in the midst thereof, he was a dirty ole' rascal, but we all know to well that, " What goes around, comes around " and then like Emeril say, " Bammm " ! I would love for it to return to TV once again and I do hope that it'll be soon, like I said, " I can watch it over and over again without getting bored " . Not only did the actors I mentioned above did a fantastic job, but the whole entire cast was great, hope to see you all on TV again real soon. By the way, why isn't that mini series on video ? That's all I have to say for now, thanks.
