The miniseries could have been easily condensed to six-to-eight hours.
So many "fluff and stuff" scenes ... that drag on for what seems like hours.
Mitchum carries it. MacGraw, Graves, Bergen, and Vincent are horrible; when they hit the screen, the show slows to a crawl. Tennant and Dukes deliver respectable performances as do everyone of the "baddies".
The character portrayed by MacGraw ... nobody is that stupid.
And why introduce the second son ... maybe to create the suspense that eventually he'd play into the plot?
The ending is anticlimactic.
I'd like to see it remade.
