FauntLeRoy's night time photography of the swamp where George chased a captured Madeline, Cooper and Klansman Gettys LaMotte. Not only was I impressed by Peerce's direction of the Klan's attack, but also by Don E. And I thought that Larry Peerce handled these scenes rather well. It featured Charles' ill-fated duel with Scar, the hunt for the Hazard and Main familes' nemesis, Elkhannah Bent and Charles' kidnapped son Gus, and the Klan's attack upon Mont Royal. More so than the previous two episodes, Episode Three seemed to be pack with action. With George gone, Madeline was forced to contend with a double threat - a recently wealthy Ashton Main Fenway determined to take Mont Royal from her and the local KKK and brother-in-law Cooper Main, determined to kill her and destroy her school for former slaves. The trio set out into the Indian Territory to hunt for Bent and the kidnapped Gus.
After becoming sober, Charles learned about Gus' kidnapping from George and his friend, cavalry trooper Magic Magee. George Hazard and Madeline Main's story blossomed into a romance that proved to be a lot more satisfying than what was depicted in Jakes' 1987 novel. After mending Scar, Charles began to drink heavily in order to escape the failure of both his quest and his efforts to save the Cheyenne village from Captain Harry Venable and his troopers. The 1987 novel was not as long as 1982's "North and South" or 1984's "Love and War".Įpisode Three began Charles Main's confrontation with Scar and his discovery that the Cheyenne warrior was in no condition for any kind of duel. A good number of "NORTH AND SOUTH" fans have complained that the 1994 miniseries could have stretched into one or two more episodes.
Thanks to Episode Three, "HEAVEN AND HELL: NORTH AND SOUTH BOOK III" ended on a solid note, thanks to John Jakes and Suzanne Clauser's screenplay. "HEAVEN AND HELL: NORTH AND SOUTH BOOK III" (1994) - EPISODE THREE Commentary
