Description: In the late 1930s, world politics begin to head in a dangerous direction. In Europe, Germany expands and rearms and proceeds to annex several border countries into the Reich. Meanwhile, Italy attempts to establish a Facist Colonial Empire under Mussolini while the Empire of Japan stands ready for a major war with China. Enter the Henry family, headed by career naval officer Victor "Pug" Henry. "Winds of War" thus follows the exploits of Pug and his children, all of which are set against the backdrop of world events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Rightfully regarded as one of the best miniseries ever made, this magnificent adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel focuses on the years 1939-1941, before America's entry into WWII.

In the midst of the growing chaos, Commander Victor "Pug" Henry (Robert Mitchum) and his family get into the thick of it. Mitchum becomes President Roosevelt's naval attache to Germany, and ends up in a conference with Adolf Hitler himself. He also travels to England, during the height of the Blitz and falls for an Englishwoman, Pamala Tudsbury (Victoria Tennant), while Mitchum's wife Rhoda (Polly Bergen) flings herself into a passionate affair with nuclear physicist, Palmer Kirby (Peter Graves). Meanwhile, Mitchum's son Warren (Ben Murphy) is a naval pilot in the Pacific, while the younger son Byron (Jan-Michael Vincent) is off in Europe, falling in love with the free-spirited Natalie (Ali MacGraw), niece of acclaimed Jewish author Aaron Jastrow (John Houseman). As the winds of war continuously rise, Mitchum finds himself further entrenched in the growing Pandemonium when he goes to Russia and sees the horrors of the battlefront. We also enter the Third Reich, as seen through the eyes of the fictional General Armin Von Roon (Jeremy Kemp). We witness Hitler's plans for conquest, as he prepares to take on the world and begin a reign of terror as gruesome as any that has come before. From the invasion of Poland to the attack at Pearl Harbor, the characters are constantly forced to take part in the impending horror that will be known as WWII. A sweeping epic of enormous proportions, with excellent performances by all and some of the most well-staged battle scenes in film history. Mitchum is the superb choice for the main character, with his trademark cool perfectly used here. He is wonderfully supported by such talents as MacGraw, Vincent, Bergen, Houseman, Kemp, Tennant and Ralph Bellamy as the indomitable Franklin Roosevelt. Some of the scenes involving the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich are both stunning and terrifying in their realism. This is one of those films that gets your passion to learn about history geared up.

But this is just a prelude to the real horrors of WWII to come.

The Winds of War was best-selling novellist Herman Wouk's second book about World War II, the first being The Caine Mutiny (1951). Published in 1971, it was followed up seven years later by War and Remembrance. Originally conceived as one volume, Wouk decided to break it in two when he realized it took nearly 1000 pages just to get to the attack on Pearl Harbor. In 1983, it became a hugely successful mini-series on the ABC television network.

The story revolves around a mixture of real and fictional characters, all connected in some way to the extended family of Victor "Pug" Henry, a middle-aged Naval Officer and confidant of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The story begins six months before Germany's invasion of Poland, which launched the European portion of the war, and ends shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when the United States and, by extension, the Henry family, enters the war as well.

Author Herman Wouk was very negative and skeptical about a motion picture adaptation of his beloved and scrupulously researched novel, since he was most displeased with several earlier adaptations of his novels. But in 1983, Winds of War eventually became a successful mini-series on the ABC television network directed by Dan Curtis. Herman Wouk himself wrote the teleplay for the series and had considerable influence on the production itself, and gave detailed instructions on what and how many commercials would be allowed. Wouk also has a cameo as the archbishop of Siena. The music with its famous main theme was composed by Bob Cobert, a composer often associated with Curtis. Nazi Concentration camp-survivor Branko Lustig was an associate producer in the miniseries, and also on Schindler's List.

The miniseries follows the book closely and depicts events from March 1939 until the entry of the United States into World War II in December 1941. Just as in the book, in addition to the lives of the Henry and Jastrow-families, much time in the miniseries is devoted to the major global events of this period. Adolf Hitler and the German military staff with the fictitious general von Roon as a major character is a prominent subplot of the miniseries. Winds of War also includes segments of documentary footage narrated by William Woodson to explain major events and important characters.

This miniseries was followed by the sequel War and Remembrance in 1988.

Major cast of characters

Robert Mitchum - Victor Henry ("Pug")

Curtis originally envisioned a man in his late forties, early fifties in this part (which also was the age given for Pug Henry in the novel), but said that he couldn't find anyone with the "suitable authority and World War II-era quality" until they found Mitchum, who was, however, much older (in his seventies).

Ali MacGraw - Natalie Jastrow

Curtis first thought Ali McGraw was too old for the part, but changed his mind after meeting McGraw herself and saw how beautiful she was. Associate producer Barbara Steele described her as having the right independence for Natalie. Unfortunately, public opinion was less than favorable. Critics panned her performance as she was deemed far too old to convincingly portray a woman who was supposed to be in her late twenties. She was not rehired for the sequel, "War and Remembrance" and was replaced by Jane Seymour who was nominated for an emmy for her performance.

Jan-Michael Vincent - Byron Henry ("Briny")

Vincent was considered by Curtis to be a bit troublesome, and partied hard during the production and often came up unprepared[citation needed], but Curtis said after some rehearsals on the set, he put up a great, natural performance. As with MacGraw, Vincent was also not rehired for the sequel.

John Houseman - Aaron Jastrow

Houseman became ill when Curtis went into production with the sequel War and Remembrance, and died shortly before its broadcast began, so he was unable to reprise his role. He was replaced by John Gielgud.

Polly Bergen - Rhoda Henry

Lisa Eilbacher - Madeline Henry

David Dukes - Leslie Slote

Topol - plays the 60-ish character of Berel Jastrow in the series, but was in his 40s during the production.

Ben Murphy - Warren Henry

Peter Graves - Palmer Kirby ("Fred")

Jeremy Kemp - Brig. Gen. Armin von Roon

Ralph Bellamy - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Bellamy had previously played Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello.

Victoria Tennant - Pamela Tudsbury

This was one of the producers toughest casting choices, until they finally found Tennant. Curtis said after he saw her physical suitability for the role "God, let her be able to act!"

Günter Meisner - Adolf Hitler

Howard Lang - Winston Churchill

Michael Logan - Alistair Tudsbury

Barry Morse - Wolf Stoller
