I vividly remember the anticipation with which I waited for the release of Ripley’s SCARLETT when I was in middle school. All I remember of reading it was, however, was increasing disappointment (I think I finished it though) which was only compounded by the miniseries
Looking back, I think this whole affair was a kind of “cultural loss of innocence” in which I realised that powerful commercial entities did not always have sound artistic judgments!!
