His sequel, "War and Remembrance," begins with the war's first battles rumbling and became an extraordinary miniseries that held an enormous audience spellbound. A sterling cast, superbly directed by Dan Curtis, enact Wouk's sweeping vision from the perspective of a fictional American Naval family headed by Pug Henry (Robert Mitchum). A saga of monumental proportions that captures all the horrors and heroics of a defining 20th-century event. Part 1 DVD. desertcart.com The ambitious TV event War and Remembrance was the final opus in the golden age of the maxi-miniseries. This six-disc set offers the first half (seven episodes) of ABC's mammoth 30-hour production of Herman Wouk's bestseller--itself a sequel to the landmark Winds of War--mixing fictional and real characters around the events of World War II. It starts a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor and abruptly stops in July 1943 with the fall of Mussolini. Only half of the first series' lead actors return, including Robert Mitchum as the patriarch Captain "Pug" Henry. Although Mitchum is too old and less dashing than he should be, his presence is exactly what the series needs as it wavers between pop entertainment and a graphic look at the atrocities of war. The series' multiple storylines branch from the Henry family tree, from his sons' naval battles to his daughter-in-law's (Jane Seymour) harrowing flight through Europe with her famous father (John Gielgud), witnessing firsthand the collapse of European Jewish life in the grip of Nazi power. Director Dan Curtis said that after The Winds of War, the opportunity to show the Jews' plight led him to take on another daunting production. He takes the viewer into Auschwitz with unflinching realism (producer and former internee Branko Lustig returned to the subject a decade later with Schindler's List) and is just as deft with a few massive battle sequences combining models with colorized footage. Sometimes the soap opera of the characters' affairs seems pretty sappy, especially with some uneven acting. The DVD set also contains two featurettes from 1988 and 2002. --Doug Thomas Review: Although 20 years old, it stills packs a punch. - Robert Mitchum is a great actor who carries the series. But Jan Michael Vincent did a great job also. And Polly Bergen did a stellar role. Review: We Are Walking, We Are Walking... - If you sat through Winds of War, then you must sit through this production. Several of the leads have been replaced, for the better. True, Mitchum shows his age, but for me, he IS Pug, no matter what. The Henry family struggles on through the early days of WW2, in almost constant upheaval. This doesn't paint war as a glorious battlefield, nor does it wallow in angst. The story is being told and carries you along, because you have learned to care for the Henrys'. The almost maddening situation regarding Natalie and her uncle will frustrate the viewer, but in its' final conclsusion, the horror is told unflinchingly and true to historical fact. It's well worth the time and the money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006IZQO | | Actors | Hart Bochner, Jane Seymour, Polly Bergen, Robert Mitchum, Victoria Tennant | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #176,765 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,611 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #25,808 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (18) | | Director | Dan Curtis, Tommy Groszman | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Box set, Color, Miniseries, NTSC | | Number of discs | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 11.25 x 2.75 inches; 1.75 Pounds | | Release date | October 29, 2002 | | Run time | 13 hours and 30 minutes | | Studio | Mpi Home Video | ## Product Details - **Format:** Box set, Color, Miniseries, NTSC - **Genre:** Military & War - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 6 ## Images ![War and Remembrance: Deluxe Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NhErhOUuL.jpg) ![War and Remembrance: Deluxe Collection - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+vLwjIO8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Although 20 years old, it stills packs a punch. *by H***. on February 11, 2014* Robert Mitchum is a great actor who carries the series.
