Beulah Land (1980) / Blue and the Gray, the - Set

Shipped quickly and packaged really good

Persons who collect good Civil War fiction will love this one.See a younger Don Johnson here in a major role too for the fans of DJ.Similiar to the old favorites GONE WITH THE WIND...NORTH & SOUTH...THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. If you enjoyed or own any of those DVD's you won't want to miss adding this mini series to your collection of fine, fictional Civil War drama.I have long awaited this to come out on DVD. I have tired of and no longer use VHS tapes on my large screen DVD. I cannot tell you just yet about the screen quality of the DVD as mine has not yet arrived at this writing.The story line is great and the actors all have done a fine job in this story and best of all, the price is great for a great movie.

My late grandpa and my uncle and some family friends are actually in this movie and I had no ended until my grandpa passed. I am so excited I was able to find Blue and the Grey!

As a Civil War History Buff, I enjoyed this movie a lot. Leslie Ann Warren did an excellent job as a plantation owner, and what she went thru during these hard times. Very dramatic, action and great story. It was done with great detail, including when the Union army sacked and burned her plantation house. Highly recommend this movie. It is NOT all civil war fighting, but a great story line that keeps you wanting to watch. It was a TV Movie, and it is just as great as it was when I first watched it years ago. Buy it and enjoy!

Personally, I was disappointed. I won't even comment on the fact that the primary actors scarcely age 5 minutes over a period of 25 years. More important is the fact that the acting is uneven and many of the 'southern' accents syrupy and forced. I also thought that the film dragged in many places. Also, quite unforunately, the story and sets parallel 'Gone with the Wind'. The setting is even in Georgia and we see virtually the same fires, crippled soldiers and escaping civilians. There's even an evil ex-overseer trying to buy the stricken plantation. The problem is that 'Beulah Land' isn't nearly so good.I gave the film 3 stars, though, based on the complexity the film depicted in the relationship between slaves and slave-holders. It was a love-hate relationship with probably more love than hate. There was something like interracial harmony but with an undercurrent of discontent. Paternalism was rife and when the Yankee artist asks the mistress of the plantation why she won't free her slaves, the woman answers...'but what will become of them?'Southern culture reckoned that blacks couldn't care for themselves and therefore there was little alternative but to continue a troubled system. Yes, there was also fear that 'freed' slaves would turn on their previous masters. Emancipation occurred and the Federal Government, in all too many instances, set itself up as the greatest plantation master of all because, after all... 'What will become of them?' It is an ironic and fearful thing that racial relations in the U.S.A. have become increasingly strained since the early Civil Rights Era. There has been true progress in the social and economic status of blacks but...in my humble opinion...either despite of because of this progress interracial relationships are worse now than at any time in the past.Ron Braithwaite, author of novels--'Skull Rack' and 'Hummingbird God'--on the Conquest of Mexico

Pretty good entertainment kindly different. Plenty of old stars in the movie. Tks

Some reviewers have commented that the 2nd part of the movie was not included in the DVD. I thought the same, however found out the 2nd part of the story is included on Disc 1....you have to wait for the ending credits of part 1 to finish, then you are able to select from the frames of part 2 to continue with the story. I don't know why they did it this way. It would have been better if they'd simply made 3 discs.

I have not seen Beilah Land, I only wanted blue and blue gray, which btw is the BEST made for tv miniseries about the civil war ever made. North and South is great too, but way to long. The Blue And The Gray is AWESOME

complitly satified

da ich die Serie schon kenne bewerte ich sie mit 4 Sternen , jedoch lässt sie sich mit dem Ländercode 2 nicht abspielen, worauf nicht hingewiesen wird den dann hätte ich mir den kauf sparen können

I loved this movie all over again; I first saw it years ago. I enjoy stories of the American Civil War very much and this one was as good as, or better than, most.

I am really happy with this movie

Like movies that are based on fact not really sure about this one but maybe
