THIS IS THE COMPLETE 3 VOLUME 18 DISK OVER 25hrs.
War and Remembrance, a television adaptation of the same-named 1978 novel by Herman Wouk and a follow-up to 1983’s The Winds of War, was an even more massive production, filmed from January 1986-September 1987, shot from a 1,492 page script containing 2,070 scenes picking up in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and continuing until shortly after the end of the war. There were 757 sets involved in the filming- 494 in Europe, including France, Italy, Austria, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, West Germany, England, and Poland, and 263 in the United States, Hawaii, and Canada. 358 speaking parts were included in the script, 30,310 extras were employed in Europe and 11,410 in the United States. It was the first film production granted permission to film inside Auschwitz concentration camp. Scenes set in Russia were filmed in Montreal in temperatures reaching 40 degrees below zero. Pacific scenes were shot three miles off the coast of Hawaii. ABC Circle Films’ research department provided director Dan Curtis with books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and newsreels while Herman Wouk scripted his novel’s historical segments, including Hitler’s military conferences and the meetings of Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. Dan Curtis and Herman Wouk insisted on a completely uncensored depiction of the Holocaust, resulting in undoubtedly the most graphic images ever shown on network television, and certainly some of the most graphic Holocaust imagery ever filmed period. The love stories continue where they left off, but there are some very strong sequences to balance them out- the unflinching portrayal of the Holocaust, the submarine campaigns of Byron Henry (now played by Hart Bochner), a lengthy, detailed depiction of the Battle of Midway, and significant focus on the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler (now played, with the fury of a mad dog, by Steven Berkoff). The result is in many ways better than The Winds of War- Pamela is still fairly unbelievably and pretty boringly head-over-heels for stiff old Pug, but the submarine scenes, the Battle of Midway, the assassination attempt on Hitler, and all of the scenes involving the Holocaust are very well-done.
