Lesley Ann Warren ages 38 years in six hours in the upcoming NBC-TV epic Beulah Land, about ante-and post-bellum days on a Savannah, Ga., plantation. For good ole boys, the best scenes are ante. Prewar Warren is a demure but determined plantation mistress arching through Georgia with much of her Mason-Dixon lines swelling out of Deep South decolletage.

There is tension, good observation and fine comic timing in his work...
...other deadly sins either -particularly avarice. The ranch house could pass for the Southfork Hilton, and it must take a tanker and a half to fuel all those Mercedes in the driveway. The lovely Ewing ladies flop around the house in designer dresses, and when the good ole boys go hunting, they don't pile into a pickup. They whir away in a helicopter...
