Mistral's Daughter, based on the book by pulp queen Judith Krantz, hails from the golden era of nighttime soapy miniseries, the mid-'80s--when fans of drama, romance, scandal, and forbidden passion had a front-row seat during prime time. And what a prime Mistral's Daughter is! The miniseries stars TV powerhouses Stephanie Powers, Lee Remick, Stacy Keach, Robert Urich, and Joanna Lumley in a narrative that spans four decades of louche and luxe France and its art and fashion worlds. Keach plays the tormented--and tormenting--genius painter Mistral (based, Krantz says in an introduction to this three-disc set, on both Picasso and van Gogh), whose obsessions and appetites shape his brilliant art--and bewitch and bedevil the many women in his life. The plot revolves around Mistral's legitimate daughter and a love child, who carry on the flame of their overwrought papa as they try to both live up to, and live down, the Mistral heritage. But the plot, as with most Krantz novels, is really not the point. It's love, forbidden and otherwise; scandal in heaping amounts; fame, fortune--and leaping from one to the next (as well as from one bed to the next). The whole thing is fabulous, soapy fun, and deeply engaging, hour after hour. The boxed set also includes a contemporary interview with Stacy Keach and what he liked best about his character and the filming of Mistral's Daughter--as well as what he loved about the fading art form of the miniseries, and why it's so much fun as an actor--and as a viewer. --A.T.

Stephanie Powers is very believeable as the 18ish country girl who arrives in Paris hoping to find love and success as an artist's model. A reality check occurs when the object of her affection, Mistral, played by Stacy Keach turns out to be more interested in himself and his own pursuits as an artist, than his realtionship with "Maggie Lunel"(Powers). Broken hearted, Maggie is pursued and falls for the enigmatic wealthy American from New York played by dashing (and young)Timothy Dalton. Tragedy folows "Maggie" all of her days and the story follows three generations of Lunel women. Their romances intertwine with Mistral and his illegitimate daughter. Worth watching on the couch witha hot cup of tea and an afghan. Enjoy! 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful: Finally! Mistral's Daughter Is On DVD., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Mistral's Daughter (DVD) It's been over twenty years since this miniseries first aired but who can forget Stacy Keach's performance as the artist Julian Mistral or the part played by the late Lee Remick as a conniving and scheming woman who stopped at nothing to trap and keep Mistral in a lovless marriage. This epic love story spans several generations and reveals the level of despair and sheer decadance some of the characters fell into during this span and how their lives remained forever interwoven. You can almost feel Mistral's pain in his last days as it is revealed how his paintings came to reflect his anguish and guilt for having refused shelter during WWII to acquaintances of the Jewish Faith and how that refusal ultimately led to their deaths at the hands of the Nazis. With his death and through his will, he finally gets revenge for the years of dispair he endured during his loveless marriage and the tragic loss of the only woman he truly ever loved. The miniseries was filmed almost entirely in...
