Rich-94

I saw this film as a kid growing up in New Jersey and it really knocked me out. The performances were electrifying and the visuals only amplified that electricity. Little Richard, standing on the piano while the crowd went berserk is a stand-out. I sincerely hope that some saint is toiling away to get this released onto DVD sometime in the near future.

Beautiful art direction, excellent editing and wonderful stories make this some of the best television ever produced. The fact that it was relatively short lived is sadly reflective on the state of television. I highly recommend snatching these up as they're released, you'll love them.

Despite a good cast and beautiful locations, the movie falls flat on it's face. Cliche's run rampant and all is black and white as our hero stands tall against the bad guys. The addition of a gushing wife with out of period frankness and an black character treated with unbelievable equality, frankly made my stomach turn. Rent The Searchers for your western fix.
