How the Ewings and Barnes families became entwined., 13 September 1999
Author: ranger-12

Excellent movie, well put-together, acting was superb. Gave an insight into what transpired to make the series Dallas and the characters in and around the Ewing family more understandable. Dale Midkiff made an excellent Jock. Couldn't have picked a better!!
