Good story--but I will always see Adam Beach as Jim Chee:
There are two versions of this film. This version, directed by Robert Redford and starring Lou Diamond Phillips as Jim Chee and the PBS version with Adam Beach as Chee and Wes Studi as Leaphorn. What the author, Tony Hillerman, said about the actors in the making of "Coyote Waits" (one of the other PBS specials) was that Wes Studi was the man he saw as Leaphorn and he was beginning to see Jimmy Chee as a good deal more handsome after Adam Beach played him. Well, I'm only seeing Adam Beach as Chee now,... more info
The Dark Wind:
The Dark Wind The dvd arrived in mint condition and was extremely enjoyable. I look forward to PBS producing more of Tony Hillerman's masterpieces.
DARK WIND:
I watched this twice before really understanding it all and am I glad I did. I think Lou Diamond Phillips can really act and I thought his understanding and wisdom of Jim Chee's native American heritage and his more modern life as a peace officer was very well put together.I think he expressed it just as well. I felt this was worth watching and I will be viewing it again.
wish it wasn't so:
Like some Hillerman type excitement and entertainment? Keep wishing...
Seeing Robert Redford's name in the credits of what might pass for a high school film class production is quite a disappointment, but then, if it didn't make the theaters I guess you shouldn't expect much from the cartoon-like characters.
The story has no explanation for the two suitcases of cocaine that suddenly appear in Che's truck at the end. You'll have to read the book to figure that out.
Watch for the boom mike... more info
