Okay, we have a pre-perm James Caan. He got that first perm when he played Sonny in The Godfather 40 years ago and he will apparently be buried with it. We have Sarrazin, Vincent, and Ford; all who had very successful acting careers. We have Stroud and Popworth, who were featured in several Clint Eastwood flicks. The cast was good. The rest was poor. Cheap production - lots of stock footage and indoor sets with fake scenery. Anachronisms abound, as Brenda Scott sports a "That Girl" hairdo made famous by Marlo Thomas. The trouble is, it's supposed to be 1862 - the era of sausage curls - not 1968. I don't believe they had hairspray back then. Then, all of the men are clean shaven in an era where practically all men had beards. James Caan got shot in the arm, had the arm amputated, and is out and about the next day as if nothing had happened. Jan Michael Vincent has the phoniest death scene ever. Brenda Scott's fake eyelashes look like flyswatters. I could go on and on.....skip it.
