(1995 tv mini-series; aired in 2 parts 10/15/95 and 10/17/95 on CBS)

One of Bruce Greenwood's most romantic and attractive roles, this Judith Krantz mini-series stars Lisa Hartman Black as Jazz, a headstrong California land heiress who's also a famous photographer. Behind her is a starry supporting cast that includes Dixie Carter, Linda Evans, Cliff Robertson, James Farentino, Bruce Greenwood, Jeffrey Meek, B.D. Wong and Lisa Eilbacher, playing various family members, love interests, or villains trying to get hold of her vast land interests. Greenwood co-stars as Jazz's distant cousin Casey, a self-made man who's chosen to give up a lucrative career to work as head wrangler on her father's ranch. Casey loves Jazz from the moment they meet, but Jazz opts for Gabe, a successful but self-serving photo-journalist (played with appropriate swarthiness by Jeffrey Meek). Of course he lets her down, and eventually she realizes Casey is the only man she trusts and the man she probably loved all along.

Broadcast over two evenings, the first two hours concentrate more on Jazz's career as a photographer and her romance with Gabe in Paris, while the second two hours cover her return to California and her attempts to save her father's land after he dies. There are so many characters and story lines nobody but Jazz has much screen time, but it's still a nice role for Greenwood, who has several winning scenes as the ethical ranch hand helping Jazz fight the evil entreprenaurs, and even though the romance is a long time in coming, there's a wonderfully comfortable chemistry between him and Hartman-Black in their sweetly played love scenes.

Made in early 1994 when Greenwood was mainly playing villains, the tv mini was held back over a year and finally released when he was better known as the heroic Nowhere Man.

Although it's never been released as a video, Dazzle has recently become available as a DVD.
