More like thisReview Dramatic romp through the Civil War years As others have mentioned, this is a series of recollections of events which may (or may not) have occurred during the American Civil War. It is related from the point of view of a 'neutral' war correspondent, who's talent is for drawing sketches of what he has seen on various battle fields, from Bull Run to Appomattox Ct. House. There is considerable 'time jumping' from one period of the war, to another, which inhibits continuity to some extent. For me the best part of the mini-series was watching Gregory Peck (as Abraham Lincoln) deliver the Gettysburg address. However, we are thrown into that scene without adequate preamble, so even this is diminished from what it could have been. I am quite an avid amateur Civil War historian, having read many books and watched many TV series (including the excellent PBS series by Ken Burns, and the complete 3 volume set of books on the Civil War by historian Shelby Foote) on the subject. If you are looking for historical accuracy you will be disappointed. If you, on the other hand, are simply looking for a decent dramatization (ala "Gone With the Wind), you will enjoy this series. The acting by the cast was, in general, C+, with the exception of a few of the notables (Gregory Peck, for one). As my summary states, this is a dramatic romp, so if you keep that in mind and set your sites correspondingly on the low side, you will not be disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022 I watched this series when it came out in Early 80's. I enjoy the action scenes especially since I used to be an reenactor. I received my order earlier than the projected delivery date. I am well pleased with the merchandise and the prompt delivery. Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2022 Played great in my Xbox I watched this a long time ago and enjoyed watching it again Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2022 Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021 This is full length version of the original miniseries . . . . not the standard DVD copy in which about an hour and a half was edited out. The quality is extremely good . . . looks like it was shot yesterday.
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2021 Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020 They said 'Like New', but judging from the RCA stickers on the cassettes, I'd say it IS new. Super happy right now. Can't believe such a classic film would go unopened for so long. 1982, man. Almost 40 years...wow. Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021 Overall, a really good movie, would highly recommend watching. Top reviews from other countries4.0 out of 5 stars Stacey Keach is good as Jonas Steel Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2018 The main character in The Blue and the Gray - John - is a slightly awkward farmer's son-cum-war-artist, rather than a dashing military type. This means the storyline is more detached from the fighting than other similar period films. Stacey Keach is very good as army scout Jonas Steel, however, and the series is both watchable and entertaining, with several very good scenes such as the barn dance. Just a little more subdued than similar TV and big screen offerings. Not as good as "North and South" or the more recent films Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, Glory, etc., but not bad at all. 4.0 out of 5 stars Good memories Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2020 Haven’t seen this series for many years. It’s a bit dated now but I really enjoyed it. Sound was a tad iffy in parts though. Delivered on day that was stated 4.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2021 Because I am abit of a history buff I really enjoy it I like it because it follow the story of an individual who drew pictures of the war 5.0 out of 5 stars The DVD was very good Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2021 The DVD was in a very good condition and I like the movie because I like the American civil war 5.0 out of 5 stars It’s history & people should know about the American civil war Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2021 Where was the movie The Blue and the Gray filmed?Although the fictional story is largely set in Virginia, the miniseries was filmed almost entirely in northwestern Arkansas.
