Dallas TV Series
I just saw this movie for the first time tonight and I was surprised at the similarities with the Dallas series, including the name Ewing and Ella instead of Ellie, and actor named Farnsworth instead of characters Southworth or Wentworth, and even the presence of Jim Davis, who played Jock Ewing in the Dallas TV series, with oil barons versus cattle ranchers, surely this movie formed a model to build the Dallas TV series around. Some of the basic elements remain, greed, strong female role, fighting within the family, etc.
