Amazed that there are no ratings for this, nor any (other) reviews. Saw this once on TV. Maybe that's the only time it's ever been shown. I remember it well, though, and thought Laurence Luckinbill turned in a fine performance. Originally a stage production, I believe, this version defies the norm of TV remakes of plays looking kind of flat and feeling kind of dry. Luckinbill's LBJ is fully three-dimensional, perhaps because he fearlessly seeks to re-create Lyndon Johnson's bigger-than-life persona. The perfect choice for a one-man show, as Johnson didn't need anyone else to share the stage either.
Hope this is available somewhere. It's really too good to lose.
