I love this Civil War movie. The characters seem like real people, not like glamorous 'soap opera' types. The character of Jonas Steele ( ''Captain'' ) is probably the most mysterious of the group, but he is used for good effect to take is into the War, behind the lines, and into understanding more of the politics of the times. Gregory Peck is very good as President Lincoln, and I really liked John Hammond as artist John Geyser, artist War-Correspondent, sort of a John Singer Sargent type character. The War is well explained along the way. I found myself looking up battles and military officers as they appeared in the movie. I learned a lot. I recommend it. Bobbi

I enjoyed this very much. Never did see it when it aired originally on television. It’s interesting that both sides of the war are seen through the eyes of an artist. Disappointed though that there was not much Historical aspects . They showed battle of bull run Gettysburg address. Abe Lincoln etc. great acting scenery. Some romance. But for the most part a great dramatic series.

It is an old movie but it kept my interest more than many other really new ones do. I purchased it because my husband, in his youth, was one of the extras and carried a large flag in some of the battle scenes. I purchased it for him to have as he didn't get a copy of the movie as it was made for a 3 part TV series originally.

Good mini-series on the difficulties of the Civil War. Focuses on a family whose members take different sides. Does not portray a lot of needless blood and gore. To my knowledge, fairly historically accurate.

We really liked the series. We remember when it ran on network TV years ago. It was a great pass time during COVID-19 “stay at home” period.
