Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

the movie is excellent and not like movies that are on TV/big screen anymore. A very good wholesome show, depicting a family over generations........very, very good. Jane Seymour was in this movie as well as Elizabeth Montgomery; one of her first movies, and might be her first one ever, so why has this never been released. I know I sound redundant, but if someone knows, let us all know, okay? Now, what hasn't it made it to be released in VHS, let alone DVD? Something about Elizabeth Montgomery's estate? That's what I heard. I'd think they would want to release all her movies, but they have not. I wonder why? She made several 'made for TV movies', that were really good, but u can't find them anywhere........why?

In vain, I keep checking to see if someone has had the intelligence to put this out on DVD......I would buy it in record time. I absolutely love this movie and am right now in the process of re-reading the books (The Trees, The Fields and The Town) for the 5th time...and will probably re-read them every two years or so - that's how good they are. The miniseries pretty much echoed the books and was a real treat. I can't believe I missed it when it was telecast again the early 90's. Elizabeth Montgomery was wonderful - completely believable as Sayward and made me a fan of hers for her all too short life. I come from "the hills of Pennsylvania" which I used to "run" as a child so felt a connection.Holly Michaels

I have been searching everywhere to buy this movie for presents to my mother and sisters. I remember watching it when I was in elementary school and learning the states and capitols, mom taught me Montgomery, Alabama by using one of my favorite actress's so I learned it as Elizabeth Montgomery,Alabama.I had to go to bed before the end of the movie each night due to school the next day so I missed the end of each episode of the mini series and have wanted to see it for many years. I loved Bewitched and still watch it whenever it's on.I just loved Miss Montgomery and in whatever I saw her in, She's right up there with Lucille Ball, my other all time favorite actress. I am trying to purchase the trilogy of books that "The Awakening Land" was made from, as a gift to my sister but I would love so much to be able to give them all a copy of the movie as well.

The Awakening Land was an excellent movie with an all star cast. Elizabeth Montgomery played her part with grace and Hal Holbrook was very convincing as the Solitary. The cast and performance was award winning. The time frame was neither to short or too long. Each sequence was well covered. The movie's setting was absolutely beautiful. The storyline was strong and very heartwarming. I have watched the Awakening Land about 5 times and have loved it each and every time. It's story is clean and depicts in such a wonderful way the struggles of early pioneer life and the triumph over adversity. The movie is full of love and adventure. It was a pleasure following Sayard and Portus through out their lives and the lives of their family and friends and how they all succeeded in what they came to this land to do, make a new and better life. I put The Awakening Land right up there with Lonesome Dove. The Awakening Land is brilliant as were it's characters.
