Testimony of Two Men

Testimony of Two Men was outstanding, and one of the best I have ever watched. I realize some may class it as a soap opera, but I really enjoyed the story (drama, romance, history, etc.). The lineup of actors was great, both well known and not so well known. At the time, I developed a major crush on Laurie Prang. Unfortunately she did not do that many roles after this one, that I am aware of. David Birney was excellent, and I especially enjoyed David Huffman, who died much too young. Steve Forrest was one of my favorite actors at the time, and of course there was the ethereal beauty of Barbara Parkins and Linda Purl.

I have searched for years, to find a commercial video of the complete miniseries. I managed to get a rough copy from broadcast television, in the 90's when it had been cut down to 2 hours, and I have just about worn it out, watching it so often. I long for a re-broadcast of the full program. I would really enjoy it, if a DVD could be issued, of the complete miniseries.

I have seen this mini-series and highly recommend it. I fell in love with it so much that I found the book that it was based on from Taylor Caldwell and read it (3 times). It is very well acted and does a great job of showing life at its ultimate best and worst through the eyes of the people living it, and dealing with the consequences of the decisions that we make in life (for better or worse). I don't believe it is on tape as of yet, but if you can find it, don't pass it up, it is worth a look.

I remember when this came on television in 1977. About 10 years ago, it came on again. This is a wonderful miniseries with so many of the old and new (generation of the time) actors. Seeing it today it seems a bit corny, but the story line is still powerful. Maybe one day some company will put out a DVD or VHS for this and for "Backstage at the White HOuse", another miniseries of the 70's.

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of drama. I have read the book so many times now that I have lost track as it is one of those stories that you can go back to time and again as it is about good overcoming evil. it has that good feel factor about it that makes you want to scream with anger, cry with pain and celebrate with wonder at the outcome. It has romance and intrigue and comedy. The mini series from 1977 was beautifully portrayed by the actors involved and certainly did justice to the original story line. I for one would really appreciate a copy for my own so maybe one of the DVD or video companies will take the initiative and humour those of us that appreciated good talent and creativity for the 70's.

I loved this movie from the very first time. it is a well constructed drama regarding an idealistic doctor, and his trials (literally) and tribulations. I remember it as a great example of romantic drama mini-series when that form was still consider " ground breaking" in the seventies. I believe this drama has not been aired, or released on video, in the past 10 years. A worthy find, if it can be found. A definite must have if it can be located.
