If not for his track record, he would not have been able to make a full-blown medieval epic whose hero is a rationalist mercenary who urges idealists to kill if they want to preserve any happiness and falls in love with a Satan-worshipper. And Clavell went straight to major financing: ABC pictures and its affiliated Cinemara releasing company.

"The Struggle," and Ford's "The Long Voyage Home," "My Darling Clementine," "The Sun Shines Bright," and "Seven Women...
