Man, that's the first time I ever seen a Texan beat
himself to the draw.
3. What movie is this?
It began as a TV miniseries produced by Ted Turner. The finished product pleased the millionaire
so much that he decided to release it to movie theaters. It may be the longest American movie (254
minutes) ever to appear in theaters. It
appeared in a limited number of cinemas and did not recoup its cost, but the
publicity was golden and when it was first shown on Turner Broadcasting
Network, it was the most viewed basic cable program up to that time. The movie is based on the Pulitzer Prize
winning novel Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. The title was changed to the battle name
after it was discovered that potential viewers thought the original title
indicated a motorcycle gang movie. The
National Park Service allowed filming on site, although much of the action was
lensed at a nearby farm. The film made
use of over 5,000 reenactors. There are
also cameos by Ted Turner and Ken Burns.
Turner is killed during Pickett’s Charge (rumor has it by Jane Fonda
masquerading as a Union soldier). Burns
plays an aide to Hancock.
