Rating:  - Excellent Sheldon film, masterfully handled by Jaclyn Smith
The subject of Sidney Sheldon's 'Windmills of the Gods,' written during the Cold War, actually remains topical today -- perhaps it was even ahead of its time as 'the political conspiracy' in this film is no less active today than during the Cold War. Yet, when watching this entertaining film (yes, even the edited version), one can easily see that was produced in another time, a time when dramatic scores and special effects didn't dominate as they do now and the interplay between characters holds ...

Rating:  - Shame to sell half of a movie.
I too, have recorded this movie when it was shown on TV in 2 parts. Unfortunately, my copy didn't turn out too well. Once one has seen all of it, can't emagine half a movie being any good. I thoroughly enjoyed this thriller. Lets hope the production company has brains enough to release it again, but d the whole version rather than the cut in half and on DVD. I would be the first to buy it.
Rating:  - Poor Edit of Original Item
When this program originally aired as a made for TV 'Mini-Series,' it was very good. I recorded it, and still have it. This version only runs 95 minutes, and most of the story has been edited out, and many of the details are missing. As an example, the scene where Dr DeForge tells Mary Ashley to go to the pharmacy is missing, not to mention the discovery at the pharmacy. Why couldn't they make this a two tape set, and present a complete version? My own recording is much better.
Rating: - Jaclyn Smith : Sheldon's Favorite Angel!
If there's a title for the "coolest actors" on tv, then, Smith and Wagner will win hands down.
Based on Sidney Sheldon's bestselling novel, this highly rated miniseries, released in 1988 is absolutely engaging from start to finish. It's not an EMMY calibre performance but will surely enjoy the movie from start to finish. Like a Sheldon book, this is hard to resist with wonderful performances from the lead stars.
This is probably the best adaptation of a Sheldon book. Can't wait ... Read More
