Before Ken Burns, Glory, and Gettysburg, the Civil War proved an effective backdrop for this 1982 miniseries--available complete and uncut on this three-disc set--about two families divided by the War Between the States. John Hammond stars as John Geyser, a Southerner caught "betwixt and between" when he becomes a war correspondent for the Northern newspaper published by his uncle. Like a Civil War-era Forrest Gump, he finds himself "where history's in the making," from the Battle of Bull Run to the scene of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Stacy Keach costars as an Army scout who takes the "fresh off the farm" Geyser under his wing. Julia Duffy is the schoolmarm who loves Keach. The ham-handed dialogue is a guilty pleasure ("What's wrong with this land that produces such a bitter fruit?" asks the embittered Geyser). The meticulously mounted battle scenes, though, are a Civil War reenactor's dream. --Donald Liebenson

I will admit that I didn't understand what the Recut version was. It was purchased to use in my class at school. It will be OK for that; but it leaves out some integral parts if you want to understand the whole story line. I wouldn't recommend it is you want the whole story behind the characters and not just the basic Civil War battle portrayals.

I first saw the complete miniseries in stores in 2001 when the set came out. The thing that really caught my intrest about it was the fact that it was based on the works of Bruce Catton. This had me returning to look at it, trying to decide if I wanted to spend the money (and believe me, I didn't really have enough money to spend on myself for what this cost at that time). Well, things got settled for me when I ended up getting it for Christmas from my folks.
Now I don't remember seeing ... Read More

I am Michelle Mensen's daughter. I am watching this movie at school right now. It is Awesome. It can be very sad at times but over all it is very easy for me to watch it and not fall asleep (That happens a lot!). I say buy this. You won't return it!!

This movie has some dramatic moments. For example, the scene where Mary was killed by a strayed bullet while her husband was fighting on the front line and survived! The fiighting scnenes are not so good as other Civil war movies such as " God and Generals". The acting is so so. It's worth watching once.
