Tonight's TV (20th May) - BBC2, 9pm - "RIDE WITH THE DEVIL". Radio Times has given this movie a 5-Star rating. It stars, the one and only JEWEL KILCHER, who plays a young widow in the American Civil War. I have this movie on tape - and it's well worth a watch. It also stars Tobey Maguire, before he became better known as Spiderman. This is the only film Jewel's been in to date, and she was glad to take the role - as it's very much from the Confederate viewpoint. What's good about the film - is it's the first Civil War movie I've seen which touches on the divisions held amongst the communities on the North/South divide, where loyalties were often guarded, and ran both ways. It also features some realistic shoot-outs and battle scenes, especially when the Confederates attack the Unionist troops and sack a town. Well worth a watch, and for the guys - Jewel's definately the added bonus - she looks great in this film!
