Q: I remember watching a TV-movie version of "The Odyssey" back in the '90s and loving it. Is it available on DVD?
It is available on DVD, but you may have to hunt for it. In the bargain bins.
The 1997 miniseries version of "The Odyssey" was a rather expensive production by TV standards -- it aired on NBC in two parts and was filmed on location in Malta and Turkey, among other places. But that's the sort of production you get from Francis Ford Coppola -- the famed director's American Zoetrope production house backed the miniseries.

The plot is revealed through a series of phone calls, and the entire film (save shots at the beginning and end) takes place inside Locke's car.
