Finished Part One and it is superb. This beautifully illustrates how very good ensemble casting, good cinematography, and a hell-of-a-good story can make direction almost superfluous. Certainly, the helmsman isn't clumsy but he has a very direct, simple, and unaffected way of telling the story. And what a tale it is! From the opening scenes, we are thrust into a love story which has a passion few can match. The actresses are terrific looking: not an emaciated frame in view, just large boned, healthy women with large eyes, large bosoms, and large passions!
I can't wait for Parts Two and Three.
Again, thanks much.
