Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

elskootero-1 I was 11 years old and a civil war nut already when I saw this show in Springfield, Virginia in January of 1961 and I was GLUED to our refrigerator-size Black and white TV set every week when it came on, Friday nights, if I remember correctly. I also remember, even to my young mind, thinking something wasn't right about their rifles, and it wasn't for more than 12 years that I realized what it was--The show was set in 1861 and they were using Model 1876 3-band Trapdoor conversion rifles, which were 1863 Springfield muskets converted for breech-loading cartridges. I still love the show, and will buy it immediately if it ever comes out on DVD!

dsteb It is great to see all the comments on The Americans. I was nine at the time it first aired in 1961. I had just moved to Virginia from Massachusetts and was thoroughly engrossed in learning about the war. This show really created a lasting passion for history. I got my first book on the war, Divided We Fought, shortly after the show came on. Also I started visiting battlefield sites all over Virginia. Later we went to Maryland and Pennsylvania to see Antietam and Gettysburg. I went on to earn MA and BA degrees in American History. I worked in museum programming and administration for 33 years. I now have nearly 300 volumes on the Civil War in my home library. Good TV can be a positive influence.

random_ax I was beginning to think I imagined this show. I'm 47 and my older brothers and I have all recalled seeing a TV series where two brothers were on opposite sides of the American Civil War. We had thought it was called RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG but could never find any mention of it in TV reference books. I don't recall toomuch about the show but yes, it would be a good show for some enterprising TV producer to re-do.

dean-37 I have remembered this TV series for nearly 40 years. It was a heart tugging series, about two brothers fighting the Civil War. One brother was in the Union Army and the other in the Confederate Army.You just knew one day they would meet face to face on the battlefield, and you just didn't want that to happen. You drew yourself to each of the brothers, in their individual stories of the war.Good history of times past, warm family feelings torn apart by war.There is room for a new TV series based upon this story line, today. I hope some producer picks it up and goes with it.
