Rage of Angels

To Maiahaines and the rest .....

Jaclyn Smith is THE UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF THE MINISERIES and TV MOVIES and just in case you don't know -- the title was bestowed by TV & magazine critics not just her fans. Jane Seymour may have starred in more miniseries but Jaclyn Smith top the Nielsen Ratings Chart by the mile. She's got the most No.1 rated miniseries and TV movies than any other actresses in Hollywood during her time.

As for who's the better actress, well...that's your opinion !

This miniseries adaptation is executive produced by the writer himself Sidney Sheldon and has an approval of Robert Joseph's script from start to finished, as explained in a written article by the master storyteller himself (TV Guide Oct 1983). It was a rating blockbuster during its first telecast and more viewers tuned in during its encore performance.

If you enjoy reading a Sidney Sheldon book then this miniseries is a must see!

Rage of Angels is a great film, and Jaclyn Smith did a great Job, and yes became the Queen of the Mini series. A tear jerker with a bit of an edge of the seat thriller to it. Unlike most films miniseries the ending is not so happy, and the twists and turns in this story are a trademark of Sheldons excellent writing. He keeps you thinking all the way through and keeps you interested because Mr Sheldon does not follow the typical path of many other books/films etc at that time. Sheldon's influence can be detected in the screenplay. Love it!!! If you see any book or Mini series of Sheldon's books watch/read them. He is one of the best writers... Sorry WAS one of the best writers around. I for one am sad no more books will be written by him. In my opinion avoid Doomsday Conspiracy.

There was no reason for them to make the changes they made, it could have been filmed much closer to the original plot. A bright example of why it's better to read the book.

The actors in this film were great. Although I can't see why she would want that senator. He is completely dull at least Armand Assante's character is entertaining enough to bring this movie to life. I can't wait to see the sequel.

and this was before Oliver Stone's "Wall Street". Yes, every girl wanted to be living in NYC struggling to get ahead, and finds her success defending a prisoner who she gets off through several motions to the NY Appeals Court on Center Street.

Well, this is not a bad film, although Ken Howard (Senator Warner) seems less desirable than Armanda Assante (mafia don). Jaclyn Smith looks lovely as ever. Armand Assante as Michael Moretti. Ken Howard as a standard Senator Warner. John Glover (always a good character actor) as Scanlon.

If times are very bad, something like this is good escapism. Jaclyn Smith as struggling attorney Jennifer Parker, who eventually makes it to the top of the legal profession. Sidney Sheldon wrote "I Dream of Jeannie" as well, so take it lightly. 6/10.
