i have be very curious to see the original six hour miniseries that steven soderbergh late movie be base on and and now that i have and i be happy to say that one be not well than the other . they be both intelligent and involve and extremely entertaining . the only real advantage that the miniseries have over the movie be that it be three and a half hour longer and so we get to know the character more in depth . there isn not a false note to be have in this production and one that you should definitely make time for when pbs re broadcast this miniseries sometime in 2001. you would not regret it .
