    The Far Pavilions is a good saga for a mini series.
    The Far Pavilions is a very long movie made for a mini series (I expect) and its length is the one major drawback to the film. The acting, especially of the principals and more particularly of Ben Cross, is quite fine all around. The cinematography is beautiful of the Indian countryside. This is one of the better mini series made.

    I recommend it to you.
