While I didn't watch the entire movie, I did watch perhaps one half of it and it was pretty bad. However, I was totally fascinated by Richard Thomas. He plays such a strange offbeat, almost gay, out of control, over the top character. The hair,the clothes, the earring. Probably the best performance in the entire movie. I have seen Richard Thomas on stage and, of course, we all loved him as "John Boy" but this - this is so very out of character and unbelievable that I was compelled to watch and will probably pick up the last half tomorrow. And who were all the other actors - I hadn't heard of any of them nor have I ever seen them again.

In vain, I keep checking to see if someone has had the intelligence to put this out on DVD......I would buy it in record time. I absolutely love this movie and am right now in the process of re-reading the books (The Trees, The Fields and The Town) for the 5th time...and will probably re-read them every two years or so - that's how good they are. The miniseries pretty much echoed the books and was a real treat. I can't believe I missed it when it was telecast again the early 90's. Elizabeth Montgomery was wonderful - completely believable as Sayward and made me a fan of hers for her all too short life. I come from "the hills of Pennsylvania" which I used to "run" as a child so felt a connection.
