Totally Politically Incorrect. Can we expect Hollywood, who dissed "The Passion", utterly, to appreciate this piece of work, either, and help market it? I think the fact that others have found this work so unavailable, from a proved actor of the caliber of Richard Chamberlain speaks volumes. This miniseries made many powerful enemies in its day. Sometimes if you bombard the classic movie channels with requests for an "oldie", they will eventually play it, perhaps a year later.
I am intrigued by one viewer's comments that this movie inspired controversy. Chamberlain is retired but surely he doesn't regret this effort. He did an outstanding job.
I made my kids watch this when it was on AMC once---surely someone can take this video and cut some DVDs.
I'm amazed that the Holocaust museums and the different Wallenberg foundations and related organizations don't have this for sale as an educational vehicle.
Richard Chamberlain was never better in any of his mini-series. Proudly nicknamed the king of mini-series, Chamberlain etched an unforgettable portrayal of this hero for all times.
The story begins as Chamberlain, a young Swedish college student from an affluent family, mocks Adolf Hitler. Truth be told, the world didn't know the horrors that this all-time modern madman would heap on modern civilization.
How Chamberlain (Wallenberg) ran with Swedish documents and passed them out to Hungarian Jews was memorable. Instantaneously, the Hungarian Jews were Swedish citizens and therefore protected under Swedish authority.
Remember the miracle when, at the end of the war, many Hungarian Jews lost their protection and were placed in a barn that the Nazis were ready to blow up. Who can forget their faces as they huddled together and chanted the "shema" to sanctify the al-mighty's name? It would be left to Wallenberg to rescue them at the last minute from certain death.
Needless to say, the world was a much poorer place when Wallenberg was arrested by the Soviets,imprisoned, and never heard from again.
He is certainly a leading member of the righteous-those Christians who risked their lives to save Jews during the darkest period of history in this century.
Chamberlain gave a phenomenal performance which will long be remembered.
Like many others I was impressed and moved by this presentation. Though there are other productions about Wallenberg, I think this one is unmatched.
I too searched over the years in vain for a copy of the miniseries. I do not believe it is available commercially.
Nevertheless, after considerable and time consuming effort, I have been able to obtain a copy of the whole miniseries.
It was recorded on 4 CD-R disks and subsequently transferred to a single DVD disk.
The video an audio are good.
It is comparable to a good VHS recording.
Let me know if you are interested.
