War and Remembrance (1989) TV Movie Mini-series
Directed by Dan Curtis
"War and Remembrance" is a massive experience to watch
that will haunt you always. This last great mini-series dramatizes the ENTIRE
Second World War, and does so at times with a raw honesty unseen before or since
on network TV. Shot on location around the world, the soap opera stories
are always intriguing as we follow the various members of the Henrys, an
American Naval family as they encounter every major event of the war. The
heart, though, is the central plot of Jane Seymour, in a heartbreaking
career-best performance as an American Jew trapped in Europe, and John Gielgud,
mesmerizing as her uncle. As they are slowly, inexorably pulled into the
Holocaust we follow them, step by agonizing step, to the final horrors of
Auschwitz, filmed entirely on location. "War and Remembrance" is
as close to time travel as is possible, and makes that dark period of history
come powerfully alive.
