- Ellis Island is a television miniseries, filmed in the United Kingdom, broadcast in three parts in 1984 on the CBS television network. The screenplay was co-written by Fred Mustard Stewart, adapted from his 1983 novel of the same title. The series tells the story of several immigrants from the late 19th century until the early 1910s, trying to achieve the American Dream and arriving on Ellis Island, hoping for a better life. Ellis Island highlighted numerous important events which occurred up to and during World War I, and many of the characters are based on real persons, such as Irving Berlin. The series marks the final appearance of Richard Burton.
My grandma came through Ellis Island, age 13, with her sister, 15, from a village in Romania; they traveled alone. (I'm sure they had a shirttail relative to stay with, but never knew the whole story.) She worked in a sweatshop, then married and had six kids. My mother and her sister were models in NYC before working in defense plants in WWII and then married servicemen. I had a passel of cousins from all those aunts and uncles. We actually found their immigration papers.
Gosh these were amazingly strong people who were forced to find new homes far away from there own. Hard to believe. I wish a written story could come out of that. The evil in this world is horrible. I hope your relatives knew and know peace. It looks like another round of corrupt govt is here now. ❤
Sounds like such a sweet story, but I'm sure being so young they had a lot of trails and tribulations!
What a wonderful slice of turn-of-the-last-century life! Great cast, complex, intertwining storylines and the costumes are gorgeous!
My ancestor came thru Ellis island! Took a pic of his name- Christian Hochstetler…my great grandma was a Hochstetler. It’s so cool to study history and the past
We MUST be certain our names are in the Book of Life!

In Ellis Island I confess that I came after the Burton's name.. Well I was lucky to find this marvellous TV series, thanks
I was watching this because I saw Richard Burton's name. Then I saw a young Liam Neeson. Then a host full of wondeful Actors and Actresses. Ben Vereen and Melba Moore Americans back in that day leaving because of Jim Crow many talented Black Americans left for Europe. France definitely was the spot.
Excellent first part !! 👍 I really appreciate these old movies now far more than at the time, probably because they don’t make ‘em like they used to 🤣 now for part 2 !!!
Wow, very impactful for someone like me, whose ancestors did not come through Ellis Island, but over the Bering Strait Land Bridge many thousands of years ago. I decided to look up Ellis Island related subjects after constantly hearing about the immigration situation that is taking place on our southern border in Arizona.
I’m a combo Bering Straight, MayFlower and Ellis Island. I have cousins whose z grandmother came from Mexico on the back of a burro! My, aren’t so many of us all a hodge podge!
My great-grandfather had to pass through Ellis Island when he went to New York.
@@DD-wx3ho ,the ship that came from the BWI was the Korona.
That is not an “immigration situation” on the southern border and the world is a very different place.
Don’t know if you will ever read this- but I just spent almost all day binge watching this series ( both parts)- missed watching it back in the eighties ( small child & working). -was reading Burton’s bio and this series was mentioned - really enjoyed it.. too bad more present day Americans don’t watch this and remember that somewhere in their family were immigrants
Mine came here in 1880, then took a wagon to Kansas and became successful farmers.
I usually get around to reading replies to my uploads once or twice a year lol. I’m posting this from a different account until CZcams help me remember my login info for this channel. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was 8 when it premiered on CBS so I didn’t remember it at all. It was my introduction to Richard Burton via his narration on The War Of The Worlds album back in 1990 when I first heard it that lead to me to start collecting films, movie posters, books, etc. I remember the first biography I read was Melvyn Bragg’s ‘Richard Burton, A Life’ that was published just 2 years prior in 1988. If you haven’t read this one yet I highly recommend it. I think it’s the best of all the biographies though his brother wrote one as well that was very good.
@@rockbottomstudioofny9230 I’m glad you saw my post because I really had enjoyed the series- and I appreciated the time it took to post-- I will check out that book that you mentioned- thank you- take care🙏❤️
This is one of my favorite miniseries ever. Thanks so much for uploading.
My maternal grandpa and his siblings were first generation born in NYC, their parents and other family members escaped from White Russia(Ukraine) because of Czar and pogroms.
Both my.paternal grandparents and their family members escaped from Poland, Russia because of the Czar and pogroms in the late 1800's to Ellis Island
My grandparents came through Ellis island as well from Russia and Poland to escape from pogroms and hatred!
Enchanting 2 part movie. One of the great oldies. Thank you for posting it.
Thank a lots for this rare classic!
Immaculate adaptation of the 1983 novel Ellis Island penned by Fred Mustard Stewart. Alternative title could have been The Golden Door. It offers loving context to the Emma Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
My father came through Ellis Island 1927 @3mos. His family is on the wall circle. 🇮🇹
What a charming series. Thank you for uploading.
A great movie and history. Thank you!
Wonderful movie! Amazing cast!
My family has our Great-grandparents name on the wall there - Kamińskie , Piotr & Konstantia - it was amazing to go there and do a chalk rubbing to keep .
One of the main reasons why I love our flag z
Just like today, some of those rejected mad as wet hens but there were regulations. Its a great movie and thank you for posting!!!
Merveilleux ❤❤❤
Thank you for loading. Nice Sunday morning watching this!
Faye Dunaway was gorgeous
1:26:40 & 2:35:00 This was Richard Burton's last role. He just completed 1984 in May and this was filmed in July. He renewed Aug. 5th, 1984.
In 1:14:25, The Waldorf where Maude meets Marco is actually The Plaza
Some great dialogue, too.
Forgive me, I really enjoyed this miniseries, but. But few actors can master an Irish accent, and the ladies who portrayed the sisters didn't. Milo O'Shea and Liam Neeson are Irish, and the lovely actresses tried. Maybe to American ears they sounded Irish, but to my ears they grated. Any Irish agree with me?
Sure an authentic Irish accent is gentle, despite the many brogues.
Just got to thinking; The late Will Rogers was approached from a lady bragging about her ancestors arriving on the Mayflower. will Rogers answered her with "Ancestors were there to meet them". By the way the Mayflower was not exactly a luxury liner with shuffleboard and entertainment. They even landed in the wrong place. They wanted to go to Virginia. Might even say there is some anti immigration among some Native Americans when they say " the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, too bad Plymouth Rock didn't land on the Pilgrims".
This is so enjoyable and meaningful.
My two grandmothers inlaw came through Ellis Island; one from what is now Slovakia, in 1908 probably Austria - Hungary. One was from Lithuania - don't know an awful about her. Some of what I see is very similar to wha is going on today. The immigrants we get now are for the most part from other parts of the World but all the same------
Not all the same.
Good series this, Richard Burton looks proper shagged out though.!
"What's your name?" "Ich forgesson" (I forget). Ellis Island clerk: "Ike Fergusson" roflmao!!!
That's what happened.
Yeah, they nailed it! 😉😊
I remember the line with Ike Fergusen.! That stuck in my head.
Kate and Richard Burton father and daughter 🤗
That was the reason Burton agreed to appear in the movie, so he could work with Kate. They were together in only one other production of Alice in Wonderland from 1983. I think it’s on CZcams.
Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
I cant watch this, its heartbreaking.....
Early in their careers: Natasha Richardson at 13:45 and Liam Neeson at 24:12
That's so cool! To think they actually met 9 years later and got married a year after that
Broke up two marriages.
my grandparents, Irish [paternal] and Polish [maternal] passed through Ellis Island.
At the beginnings of the 20th Century. my Polish grandfather fought in WWI as a soldier for the USA.
America only deserves HELL.
Well, expect my Irish grandfather. He was a merchant sailor that jumped when gain port in America.

my biological upbring is NOT the one that i am drawn from called human.
The definition of crazy is that you KNOW and NOT EVERYTHING.
Hint and warn to you, find Heaven. And it better be by Way of Lord Jesus Christ by and in His only Bride, the Roman Catholic Church.
Define Origin. GOD. Or a lie dragging you to Hell. Truth is Love, the other is A LIE called hate.
You have to love me to get to Heaven.
Lov it, thanks!!
Thanks for posting a movie that depicts the background of immigrants before arriving in a country that was as divided as the ones they left. 2 of the main characters were criminals. One an accomplice to a crime & the other a murderer. This shows individuals who believed they had the right to do what ever they wanted. So it seems when ppl with their type of thinking met with the descendants of colonial puritizst ,conflict was bond to occur. Also, the rich had their doubt about the immigrants which still lingers today. When was this movie produced -2019?
I've seen this film in the fragments in the early 90-s in my childhood when my family had bought our first video-player. Unfortunately the sound is too weak.
PHOEBREHL - PHAEBRIËL. THOSE WERE THE DAYS OOT ON THE WIDE SEA, ACROSS THE FOAM FAE HERE TAE THERE. UPWITHITS WITH OOT END AND GALORE 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 WANT SOME MORE? 👍👍👍👍👍THERE YE GO ! ! !
"Jerome Kern' lovely ! But by 1907 he already had a major contract.
Fare well Richard Burton.

una hermosa miniserie lastima que no esta doblada al español o por lo menos subtitulada
En 1984 echaron la mini serie en TVE en español, no la encuentro por ningún sitio en español. Ojalá alguien la tuviera y la pudiera subir.
¿Cómo podría ver esta serie en español? Por favor
America and europe have something in common. North and south. That is also the difference. The norths have always in mind how to use the south to their benefit. Then we ve got international languages as music and painting theatre dancing or poetry. In a word culture. That bounds to keep in tact the celtics the russ the greeks and romans always contemporary yet coming from different eras throughout time. Ethics contrary to fanatism though is always at stake.
Thanke you for loading

Sorry to say Wikipedia lied to you. It ran 2 nights on cbs and this is all of it.
Most folks don't realize that Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source.
showa the evils of capitalism
You are using a technology and watching a movie that would not exist without capitalism. 🤡
yes still has evils@@kermitthefrog3632
How is capitalism evil when socialism has ruined many countries and still doing the same thing a hundred years later?! Definitely some parts of capitalism are toxic but without it / the USA and most other countries would look pitiful.
@@kermitthefrog3632🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
The guy who plays the Italian looks a bit like Sylvester Stallone
Dammed comunists and zaristas.......same thing with different names.
