I remembered this play from when it was first on PBS and eagerly bought the DVD. Some of the actors give great performances. Richard Basehart is outstanding. Jack Cassidy shows he can excell in a drama. Cameron Mitchell, in a supporting role, gives a performance of a lifetime. The great weak spot is William Shatner. Still a great play is worth seeingBUT the DVD is terrible. The sound annoying. Find another way to see this play!
Viewer Reviews
This play, originally telecast on NET's Hollywood Television Theatre in May 1970, truly is a firey one that makes you think of the evils of war, the deplorable conditions P.O.W.s are kept in. Cameron Mitchell and Jack Cassidy do a fantastic job at startling the viewers, especially with their yelling. Even Richard Basehart's Captain Henry Wirz is sometimes guilty of that. The anger and upset in the courtroom really do come across as genuine.
One question, does anyone know if the PBS logo is preserved at the end of the credits? I downloaded the video from Amazon Unbox and it is not there at the end, though it is on the VHS version.
(Not to confuse anybody, this is Barbara's son, David, writing.)
