- Chiefs
My father helped set up the stage, and also appeared in this movie, alot of my grandmothers things were used in this movie, several of which I have. I am looking for a vhs of the movie as my father passed away in Oct. of this year and we can't find the copy of the original vhs he had. It was a great old fashion movie.

- Old South Gives Way to the New South
This film is set in a small Georgia town, involves a little kid who grows up to be Governor of the State, and develops a social conscience that takes him away from the segregationist ways that prevailed during his childhood. Remind you of anyone? Jimmy Carter comes to mind. The parallels are not exact, but I think they are there.

In one tiny respect, the mini-series mischaracterizes the old Southern society. Near the beginning, a white teenager is being flogged by the Klan to teach him not to "inbreed with niggers." Racially speaking, they have it backwards. No one cared what white men did with black girls; it was the fear of black men having sex with white girls that people got excited about back then.

The series fast forwards to 1945 at the end of WWII and the next chief is Sonny Butts (Brad Davis), a despicable racist who is appointed when the previous chief dies of a sudden heart attack. Butts is hardly qualified to be chief but is apparently put in his position to ... Read More

- great historical epic
chief's tells the storey of a small southern area, and the generations of people, the interactions of the towns people affected, and the horrible secret yet to be uncovered
from it's past. charlton heston, brad davis and billy dee williams give stand out performances in this police tale
which spans 40 yr's.

- The book was really good too
I just finished reading the book "Chiefs" and decided to try and find the movie and compare the two. I personally think that books are better because movies leave out too much vital information. I recommend Stuart Woods' books to anyone that likes to read.
