According to the limited program’s official synopsis,Testimony of Two Menwas an “ambitious, post-Civil War costume drama spanning 36 years” which “intertwined several stories of lust, power, greed and murder.” It followed two former army field doctors “and their passion for their work and women in their lives.”
In addition to Cattrall, the series also starred David Birney, Barbara Parkins, Steve Forrest, Ralph Bellamy and Tom Bosley (among others).
