First viewed : 10 April 1989
This U.S./ Australian mini-series was a dramatization of the toppling of the Marcos regime in the Philippines four years earlier. Naturally, the story had to be told through the eyes of a fictitious American journalist played by Gary Busey who by lucky chance , happened to be present at every noteworthy event. The star of course was First Lady Imelda and her infamous shoe collection, played as Alexis Colby by the genuinely Filipino Tessie Tomas. It was OK as long as you didn't take it too seriously.
