This first aired in 1977 and was one of my favorite miniseries. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for a long time. The acting and plot are stellar and the scenery is beautiful. This story takes place in a plush Colorado ski resort in the 1960s. It involves illicit sex, corruption, desire, and murder -- things that make up any good miniseries. It revolves around the sensational trial of accused rapist-killer Lee Bishop, played by the wonderful Perry King (Rip Tide, Melrose Place, Mandingo).

The story is thin although the parts where Elliott shows his depth as a master manipulator is fun. I found myself thinking that the producers got the green light for a mini after filiming started and put in edited cuts to fill the very loonngg space. Slow, poorly written and woodenly acted. The DVD though crisp shows that the master was not cleaned there is substantial dirt. Skip it. |
