Son Of The Morning Star: Original Soundtrack - Craig Safan

Customer Review:

Son of the Morning Star was broadcast the same year as the theatrical release of Kevin Costner's "Dances with Wolves." Inasmuch as both dealt with the same historical period of our nation, obvious comparisons would arise. Wherein "Dances" told a fictional story, "Son" is the tale of General George Armstrong Custer, a figure both revered and vilified simultaneously. And it pulls it off wonderfully with passion and political correctness.

Gary Cole IS Custer. He brings to life the conceit and arrogance of a man who felt that his way was the only way. Cole's unique facial expressions are perfect in every scene, even those wherein he is completely silent.

The television mini-series has the production quality of a bigger budget theatrical film. The location filming enhances the story and the use of Native American actors is a further plus.

"Son of the Morning Star" rises high! I give this film a strong recommendation.
