Incredibly delicious! When I first saw this movie I truly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Then when I watched it again last night, I still felt that same enjoyment. Vanessa Redgrave is captivating in her role as the 'Mafia Mother' (you know who really runs this family right? Her!) and Nastasia is incredibly strong. You will enjoy this movie again and again, trust me!

I love Vanessa Redgrave, so I'd watch anything she is in, which got me to this made for TV mini-series. This imported DVD version is the only available version. (There was a video edition...). The DVD looks and sounds great, and the film is highly entertaining, but it is odd that with the popularity of Mob films, and the star power in this one, that no American studio has issued the complete version....This one is missing about 35 minutes....

This movie is different from standard mob movies in that the wives do not tolerate abuse from the men in their lives. These ladies fight back!!
Although you cannot find a better Godfather than Dennis Farina (what a fox in a tux!) the ladies are more than equal to the task of retribution.
I liked this movie because it is different than the rest of the mob/family genre, and finally shows that women can handle themselves in a fight.

I was disappointed to find out that there were a lot of scenes deleted from this movie. I was so looking forward to watching this great movie. Wished this information would have been included in the description of movie/DVD before I purchased it.

This is exactly what a "mob movie" should be. Most notable is the performance by James Marsden, a gifted young actor with matinee idol good looks. His performance was worthy of an Emmy nomination. Why this film is not on US DVD yet is a mystery to me, considering the popularity of "gangster" films. I really had trouble believing Vanessa Redgrave as an Italian, but hey, she's Vanessa Redgrave, and I don't question her acting ability! This film is riviting and should please the Godfather fans and fans in general of crime dramas.

Great story and sad too. These ladies did a great job!. You must add it to your collection.

This was originally a mini series on TV. When they converted it to a DVD, they left parts of the movie out. It was great on TV. but where they took parts out, it was not as good because there were "jumps" in the film. It just did not flow as smoothly as it did on TV.

Families ties are hard to break so what better way to show the power of Women!

This one is another good one, when all the men are killed off by a Rival Family, the women take over and take revenge. Lots of twists and never a moment of boredom. Thank you Amazon for having this available for our enjoyment!

I love this Movie! Ever since it first came out I remember always watching it over and over. You wont be disappointed!
