i remember watch this on the family channel ( yes and the family channel ) a long time ago when i be little . at the time i wasn not sure what i be watch and but i do like the movie . i have time to waste and and this wasted time while be entertain . i have see the miniseries at least five time since then and when it be re run on various cable channel . whichever tv channel broadcast this originally and put a lot of work into it . on location filming and many of the big star of 70 and and good special effect . with all this money put into these part of the movie and the plot be slightly thin and melodramatic and and they borrow many action scene from tora and tora and tora ( good movie and but much more boring than this miniseries ) . angie dickinson play the bitchy wife of a colonel ( dennis weaver ) and who try to have an affair with a southern captain ( robert wagner ) and and ultimately be involve in an affair with a private . lesley ann warren be a doctor who be save from suicide by wagner . a local journalist of japanese origin ( tiana alexandra ) be involve with a private ( adam arkin ) . there also a load of notable b actor that you can recognize from other film . all of them find themselves under attack on their island paradise of hawaii . angie dickinson and lesley ann warren be both really attractive and and contribute decent performance consider the thin plot . wagner and weaver be both okay too . a pre er adam arkin contribute a good performance . and tiana alexandra be really under rat . sadly she disappear after this miniseries . the support cast be all good and also . the plot be thin and though . they send angie off on a long taxi ride in the middle of the series . most of the relationship be unrealistic . and some of the historical fact be skew ( for the most part and because we learn more about the occurrence at pearl harbor after this miniseries be make ) . overall and if you have six hour to waste and take a look at this . over dramatic and but entertain . you want a more historically accurate movie and see tora and tora and tora . more interested in actor who be still make movie and computerized special effect and see the even sappy ( and and in my opinion and horrible ) pearl harbor . rating represent positive .
