Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: For Better Or Worse [VHS]
This two-hour CBS movie from the much-loved seriesDr. Quinn,  Medicine Womandepicts the long-anticipated wedding of Dr. Michaela Quinn  (Jane Seymour) to mountain man Byron Sully (Joe Lando). Any show that features  the marriage of the two lead characters has built-in appeal, and this one is no  exception. The wedding of Dr. Mike and Sully is the most exciting thing that's  ever happened to the tiny frontier town of Colorado Springs. The time is 1870,  as the attractive period sets and costumes attest. The charming scene in which  the very first train--an adorable steam locomotive--pulls into the town's brand- new station will delight train buffs, and the appearance of historical figure  General George Custer ups the story's action quotient. The show doesn't strive  for strict accuracy, however. Its tone resembles a historical romance novel,  without the bodice-ripping. LikeLittle House on the Prairie,Dr.  Quinnglorifies the traditional American family values of a simpler, bygone  era. Yet the script also incorporates modern-day concerns. (Dr. Mike doesn't  want to change her name after marriage, and Sully won't wear a wedding ring.)  One theme of the movie is timeless: what to do about meddling relatives when  planning a wedding. All told,Dr. Quinn's worldwide following of devoted  fans will find this movie full of all the romance, excitement, and drama they  have come to expect.--Laura Mirsky
