    • Trivia
      Carmen Culver's television script added so many new characters, and changed so many sequences from the 1834 novel by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton that her version merited a paperback novelization of its own, written by David Wind.

    the first mini that I enjoy

    I´ve first seen in 1985, and was the first time that a movie touch my heart, then I read the book and I think that the traslation to the movie is very difficult, but Peter Hunt give us a masterpiece. The adaptation is amazing, and the cast is excellent specially by the beauty from Argentinian actress Olivia Hussey as Ione and Franco Nero as the the cruel Arbaces the Obscure.

    I recommend as one of the best mini-series of all time.
