1976 TV series (Rich man Poor man ) 1

[meiajean1]

ha....and i wondered if anyone else liked this show as much as me!a...was long time ago....gave me a good feeling to read all the comments....

Book II does quite a job of recapping its predecessor with such great highlights! It is odd to watch both Falc's attack on Tom on the dock's without music and the scene in the hospital where the brothers say goodbye.

[valarmanwe]

I saw this series when I was 12, in 1976. I`ve seen repeats since. But My TV Network never aired RMPM Book II. I`ve searched the world for it, and have now found Book II in a DVD Store in my town.

all these years and the ballpeen to the knee still makes me squirm

Una de las mejores series que he visto, espero que algún día la puedan repetir...que recuerdos...ANN

This is my mum's favorite mini-series. She watched it during the late 1980s and that's how I get my name Jordache from; while she was pregnant. Thanks mum!

[NeoX3TOX1K]

J'ai adoré cette série et aimerais la revoir 

[MissLilNova]

This was my dad's favorite show of the 70s, back when he was in his 20s. We watched the reruns together <3 I love you daddy! <3

[wezatch]

@MissLilNova Same as me that is why I'am called Wesley

[Molasses90]

[Alessandro200569]

Ich habe diese serie geliebt, so schon wieder mal rein geschaut zu haben!!! Vielen dank ;-)) Evi

[FTWEVERYONE]

The whole series Nolte steals the Show.....then William Smith Shows up...HE was the REAL Thief of the Mini Series!

[kleinkoerkampben]

what.s wrong with falconspaggeti,s eye ??

[TheMsRosabelle]

@kleinkoerkampben Tom (Nick Nolte) beat him up when they were in the Merchant Marines together. Falconetti was a bully and beat up Tom's friend.

[kleinkoerkampben]

what wrong whit,s falconspagetti,s eye?

[fittifoo]

beat the left eye now the right

[fittifoo]

Falcon eddie's eye from the fight with nick was right eye. Now it's the left ,the director,messed up

[camgirl702]

When I saw this mini-series as a little girl, Peter Strauss stole my heart:) I don't think today's generation realizes how many good series/mini-series there were in the 70's. This was definitely one of my favorites:)

[TheMsRosabelle]

@camgirl702 I bought the series of 1 & 2. Just got finished watching it....What a handsome man Peter Strauss was and still is!

[openedup09]

I remember watching this over twenty five years ago and with Nick Nolte really captured my attention.Then when William Smith showed up on the scene.It brought this mini-series to a higher level...4 stars...

[YOMAMAXXL]

this really disappoints me. is miles away from the book

[fannyanne2]

I agree great movies like nick nolte in this movie and my sister like peter Strauss

[no288]

l recall when Tom died, William Smith ( Falconetti) was hated all over the world.

the follow-up of Rich man Poor man (2) was not that good

[bananasplitsable]

Great series, I loved it.

[gibby100]

when Falconetti gets carried off the ship after the fight with Tom his left eye is bandaged but for the rest of the series it's the right eye that he has the patch over.

[Abrading1]

All this time I thought his name was "Falcon Eddie". lol.

[shmuli9]

@Abrading1 Oh, my God. So did I!

[gloriousgrace155]

read the book watched this when it was on tv.. it was totally awesome.. 

[sibits]

memories of my childhood. yup, i agree, this was one series that i made a point not to miss. this ran on a local tv station together with "little house on the prairie"....haha!

[jsbach15]

This was TV's FIRST mini-series. Too bad we can't watch the entire movie. Thanks for the "glimpses."

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@jsbach15

you can buy the whole series 1 and 2 on DVD

[SandyY007]

haha my brother was named after Peter Strauss when my mom saw him play udy Jordache. Now he is having a baby....well....his wife is....

[maxieP]

During the fight with Falconetti, Tom destroyed his left eye. However, he wears a patch on the right eye. How did they screw that up? Was there no continuity person? Still a great miniseries.

[reinaldorivasnielsen]

no table serie, imperdible¡¡¡¡

falcometti

[1oo672]

just bought book11 of the miniseries continues on DVD. is book 1 available.?Terrific show.

[lindacaroleclarke]

Thank you for posting this. This was a great mini series!!!!

[expanding]

This is my all time favourite TV series. Peter Strauss was great Nick Nolte was even greater, and William Smith was outstanding as Falconetti.

There were also Van Johnson, Lawrence Pressman, Ray Milland, Fionula Flanaghan, Norman Fell, Linda Day George, Robert Reed, Mike Evans...

I wish I could watch it again some day.

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

they never outdid this series, ever and yet it remains relatively unknown to most people. They should have reruns of the entire series, books 1 and 2 every year. In fact, every WEEK

[azzorroww]

@expanding indeed the only time i saw it after it's mid 70's debut was on a french channel no d.v.d. version either with this great ensemble and the shaw novel itself

why is'nt this available for other viewers a generation now since its debut to enjoy edward asner was also out standing as the father by the way instead we get rich bride poor bride more tv reality garbage the insulting thing now is were paying to see this garbage instead of this seventies classic.

[Esmie87]

Omg I remember this, I loved watching it.

[lomein495]

I really wish they'd put this on dvd.

[tenshiabc]

I know I grew up watching this! I love this show.

YES...William Smith "RIPPED THE SKIN"

off this series. He was Probably the MOST Loved "Heavy" in Film/TV history.

He had MORE impact than ANY of the series leads,who were great...But how LUCKY we were,that MR Smith got on this project. he was SO popular,at that period,that he was a contestant on "The Hollywood squares"...amazing. Please ANYONE post ANYTHING with William Smith.

[ronwelker8]

Mr4. William Smith was one of THE major reasons for the dramatic success of RICH MAN POOR MAN no doubt in my mind.

[escorpion81966]

I remember parts like if it was today

[fromselena]

thanks! I'd love the watch this again!

[stropsomsoc100]

I will as soon as If  I got book1.

[METHODICK92]

@stropsomsoc100 Hi Man,

It will be great..

Thanks

[730ian]
