ron maxell's "Gods and Generals" was an ambitious movie,it as a fitting follow-up to "Gettysburg",but the film failed at the box office.Financier,Ted Turner pulled out.The last part of Maxwell's trilogy was put on the back burner.My nephew,Patrick,is a cinematography student at USC,last night,he told me ,one of the reasons for G&G's failure was be cause Maxwell's uncut version was a much better film,much different from the theatre version,but it was over 5 hours long.I said" How do you know the long version was better?"He said"Because I saw it,or a version of it,a fellow student copped a copy from someone who got it from someone.I wish Ted Turner or the powers that be,would restore the original director's cut of the film with special features,this is too important a film to fade away
