Scorpion Releasing investigates THE DAIN CURSE (review)

James Coburn (IN LIKE FLINT) takes on diamonds, dames, and a family curse in this three-part five-hour miniseries adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's THE DAIN CURSE.  A suspiciously staged diamond robbery leads detective Hamilton Nash into the twisted world of the Gabrielle Leggett whose maternal family line has a history of death and destruction that pulls in kidnappers, adulterers, and the mysterious "Temple of the Holy Grail" into a convoluted case that may or may not have a supernatural solution.  Hector Elizondo, Jean Simmons, Beatrice Straight, Brent Spiner, Hattie Winston, and David Canary are among the series' interesting cast.
