Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dain Curse
This movie is one of the best detective movies ever made. I would rank it with the 1940 production of The Maltese Falcon. Coburn is perfect as private detective Hamilton Nash, and the rest of the cast deliver matchless performances that only the finest actors can. I have waited for a good reproduction of this masterpiece since I first saw it on television in the late 1970's, and I am thrilled to have it on a DVD of my own. Bravo!
Rating:  - Most Complete Version
To date, this is the most complete version of the the tv miniseries from 1978 and a most satisfying watch it is!! The running time is 4hours and 40 minutes.

Rating: - Pointing out an error
The adaption of Dashiell Hammet's "The Dain Curse" was indeed a complex and enjoyable mini-series, which screened on Australian television back when it was first made.

Rating:  - Who's the cast of this movie : Dain Curse ? David Cassidy ?
Does this movie "Dain Curse" contain the actor David Cassidy ? It is listed under his name yet there is no cast listing available. Can anyone please supply the cast of this movie ?
Rating:  - Less than half the original mini-series
The original series runs about 4 and a half hours (I taped it a couple years ago when a local station ran it). This tape is only about 2 hours long. With less than half the footage, this complex mystery will make absolutely no sense to you.
