    Editorial Reviews

    Based on a story by Anne Rice, this made-for-cable miniseries explores the little-known phenomenon of the "Gens de Couleur Libres," or "Free People of Color," who lived in Louisiana at a time when slavery still held a stranglehold on much of the South. In 1822, it was not at all uncommon for attractive women of color to be retained as a "placage," a sort of "kept woman" who served the wishes of wealthy landowners, and after Philippe Ferronnaire (Peter Gallagher) enters into a loveless arranged marriage with Aglae (Jenny Levine) in order to curry the favor of her elderly (and very well-to-do) father Magloire Dazincourt (John Gilbert), he soon finds himself the father of two families -- one raised by Aglae, and another raised by his "placage" Cecile Ste. Marie (Gloria Reuben), a lovely bi-racial woman from Haiti. Philippe's son with Cecile, Marcel Ste. Marie (Robert Richard), is raised with the promise that, even though Philippe cannot officially acknowledge his parenthood, he will receive a first-class education in Europe, and Marcel finds himself travelling between the worlds of wealthy whites and economically disadvantaged Creoles in New Orleans. In time, Marcel falls in love with a girl of similar circumstances, Anna Bella (Bianca Lawson), but as fate would have it, her guardian, Elsie Claviere (Ruby Dee), has already arranged for the girl to enter into a "placage" with Vincent Dazincourt (Alec McClure), who happens to be Philippe's brother-in-law. Directed by Peter Medak, Feast of All Saints also features Ben Vereen and Ossie Davis. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    August 29, 2009: If you are looking to see some top actors and some actual history then I recommend this movie . It is very long and very good from start to finish . You will learn about a piece of USA history that has not been widely known about .

    May 04, 2006: The Feast of All Saints is an extraordinary book. I was relunctant to watch the movie for fear of damaging my own visions of the characters. I was surprised to see a movie based on a book recreated so well. I believe the movie is even better than the book. The actors and actresses were portrayed wonderfully, and the passion was vivid. I rarely read books or watch movies twice with interest, but this is a well worth it exception. You'll never become bored with the story because there is too many people to keep up with. You are bound for an emotional ride...
