I’d like to have seen Winds of Whoopee, had to be better than Winds of War, which I distinctly remember boring me to tears.
I do not recall if I watched more than a few minutes of the Winds of War, but I distinctly recall the promotional build-up for the miniseries (namely, the adverts that seemed to play every 15 minutes on the network on which the miniseries aired). The book wasn’t bad, but the miniseries adaptation, according to the judgment of critics, was so-so.
