Eric Braeden Dishes on The Man Who Came Back

Eric Braeden's new movie, The Man Who Came Back, was released this week on DVD (shop Amazon).

The film is set in the 1870s, as it follow the second worst labor strike in American history.

As TV Guide reports, of course, The Young and the Restless star did much more than lend his considerable acting skills to the flick.

"I executive produced it, having shepherded it from the beginnings of the script to the very end, into post-production," he said. "And I had the time of my life doing it."

Assisting Braeden in his goal to capture this dark period in U.S. history was a talented cast.

"I was very heartened by the cooperation of my fellow actors, starting with George Kennedy," said Braeden. "I never met a nicer gentleman. He never complained, despite working under very difficult circumstances."
