Pearl,The Miniseries
Although I rated Pearl,the Miniseries five stars,some people would disagree basing their evaulation by today's standards. But in the 70's when miniseries I believe were at their peak,this was a miniseries of magnum production. An all star cast tells the story of careers and personal emotional turmoil before the confrontation of the "day which will live infamy" World War II. The emotional center of the film is the deadly surprise attack,and the aftermath of the realization that "paradise" is not immuned to the ugliness of war,and sadness of death. I believe both men and women would enjoy this film,for the I think the film has something for each.

Moving Mini-series
I will admit at times that the story is a bit overdone. But overall I really enjoyed this story or series of stories. Most of the war epics I have seen spend a lot of time on special effects over actual characterization and story. I personally did not see that Ben Affleck movie because I think that he is a terrible and over-rated actor! I enjoyed this movie because the stories all touched a nerve. I loved Angie Dickenson's character. This is saying a lot considering that I am not a fan of hers! I have met people that are a little like all of the characters in this movie. I give it five stars because frankly, any movie made 20 or more years ago is probably better than the stuff I have seen produced today.

"Pearl"The Miniseries"
"Pearl",the Miniseries,is excellent and worth both purchasing and viewing. The plot centers on the drama in the lives of Hawaiian citizens,Naval Personnel,and those they are involved with,days before "the day"that will live infamy,World War II. The movie's cast include a impressive list of "stars"that today are regarded as "superstars" Although,the first half of the film deals with the emotional drama of the men and the women involve in their lives.The struggles both personally and professionally shows their weaknesses and strengths,they have to survive the coming days of chaos. The "center" dramatic part to me was the moment of the suprise attack,during the attack when people scrambled for their lives,and the naval forces grouping to fight back,and the sadness of the lives lost. Both men and women will find this captivating,and worth viewing again...and again!!
