Overall, I enjoyed this mini-series. The characters weeped a lot and there was plenty of melodrama.
When this movie came on, I was glued to the seat. It's one of those movies that you feel like you are right there and can identify with and feel for the characters.
This is an excellent docudrama about women in the 20th century. Ellen Burstyn proves to be the best performer as a stiff high society matron.
I like this movie because of its noble attempt to cover women's impact on the twentieth century. Although at times it was not accurate, and it sacrificed quality for melodrama, this was an engaging movie with some interesting characters.
I loved this movie. It had Drama, a slice of comedy now and then, Romance, action.
I was an extra in this film. They just used me for one day..
Personally I've watched it because of Lea Thompson's appearance and I didn't really expect to enjoy the movie as such, but surprisingly I kept watching it until the end.Let's face it - it just one of the saga-like stories and isn't particularly original or entertaining, but strangely it just keeps you by the TV.
I have seen these miniseries on TV when it first came out, and for years I have been searching avidly for a copy. Finally I could obtain it.
Historical inaccuracies aside, I think this is a wonderful movie for women. It's a TV miniseries so the acting is not Oscar worthy, but it is an overall good movie with something to say.
