I first saw this unbelievable miniseries when it made its debut on NBC in the descend of 1976, and I recently bought and watched the video plot of the series. After so many years, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the unhurried Richard Jordan’s portrayal of Joseph Armaugh. Armaugh, the penniless Irish immigrant boy at the begin of the series(It begins in Unique York Harbor in 1857) ultimately became one of the nation’s most wealthiest and distinguished men, and ultimately paid a heavy personal imprint for his arrogance, and obsession with attempting to create his eldest son the first Irish Catholic President of the United States. As you study the series, you can’t but serve notice the similarities between Jordan’s fictional Armaugh and the real-life Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Jordan should have received an Emmy for his beautiful portrayal of the hot-tempered and driven Irishman who wanted control over everything and everybody. Patty Duke was qualified as Joseph Armaugh’s wife, who turned to the bottle to peruse solace from a husband who did not care for her, and eventually went insane when tragedy intervened and took a Son who died in the Spanish American war of 1898. Blair Brown did a incredible job playing Joseph’s mistress, whose failure to pronounce her son Courtney of the identity of his dependable father, resulted in tragedy for the Daughter of Joseph Armaugh. And the behind gargantuan Henry Fonda had a brief role as an superior and celebrated Senator who felt he had no choice but to buy his bear life after Armaugh’s dispicable method to blackmail the beneficial Senator unless he dropped his abet of a Labor reform bill (which would have slash into the profits of Armaugh, and his mighty cronies) . Before the Senator died, he left Armaugh a message in which he cursed him and his family. And before the slay of this series(It ends in the tedious Spring or Summer of 1912,) the curse robbed Joseph Armaugh of unbiased about his entire family(and his only terminate friend) until he is seen alone sitting in his gargantuan mansion, pondering the heavy impress he had to pay. Other actors in the mini series include the behind Vic Morrow (Sergeant Chip Saunders of the 1960s WW2 series Combat) as Senator Tom Hennessey, Armangh’s detested enemy and ironically his Father-in-Law(whom he eventually destroyed!) and Robert Vaughn as Joseph Armaugh’s business colleague, Charles Desmond. Desmond was one of the individuals who helped Armaugh to enact even more power by sponsoring his participation in a group of much and wealthy men who ruthlessly exercise their power to control events to get even more wealth and power, regardless of the cost. And you’ll recognize as I did when I originally watched the series that anyone who opposes these men will pay a heavy and bloody ticket. A superbly acted, and fast-pace study at one man’s attainment of wealth and power, and the tragic effect ultimately paid. I strongly suggest that anyone who is even remotely enthusiastic in mid 19th to early 20th Century America pick this series based on Taylor Caldwell’s unique as it effectively weaves fictional characters like Armaugh, and the others into the tapestry of American life from 1857-1912. A expedient job all-around! Enjoy
Based on Taylor Caldwell’s unusual, this 1976 NBC production came on the coattails of ABC’s earlier success with “Rich Man, Abominable Man,” and solidified the term “mini-series” in broadcast language. And it is a fair and stylish production cemented with safe writing, beneficial acting and the message that even power and wealth carry a mark, sometimes too high. “Captains and the Kings” was reviewed in comparison to the real-life Kennedy clan, and maybe so. Peaceful, the action begins on an America-bound ship on which the mother of a young Joseph Armagh and two younger siblings dies, leaving the adolescent Joseph in charge. And steal charge he does, soon setting money and power as his goals. Joseph collects both in heaps but, by film’s extinguish, with Joseph then an outmoded man, learns the devastating cost to him personally. The gradual Richard Jordan is terrific as the powerbroker Joseph, and the supporting cast is unparalleled, headed by Patty Duke’s Emmy turn as Joseph’s wife. Her fate is insanity triggered by an arranged marriage with a man who doesn’t care for her, the loss of two children and alcoholism. The series also introduced us to Blair Brown, who went on to a haunting portrait as Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1983 mini-series, “Kennedy,” and on series television in “The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.” Here, Ms. Brown is the “other woman” in Joseph’s life, but she pulls it off with sympathy. As for Perry King, as Joseph’s son seeking to be the country’s first Irish Catholic president, there’s no escaping the inevitable comparison to the real-life Irish Catholic who went after – and got – the presidency. Strongly written, well acted and lavishly produced, “Captains and the Kings” is a grand section of entertainment.
