Movie Reviews of 1776 (Restored Director's Cut)
Movie Review: 1776
Summary: 3 Stars
It is a very enjoyable work however I was a bit disappointed that the director's cut had left out some of the original movie that I feel helped to make this much stronger. I would recommend that the original be placed in position for sale so the individual does not miss out on some of the nuances that take place around George Washington having actually been appointed General in charge of the army.
Summary of 1776 (Restored Director's Cut)
The hit Broadway musical by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards became the basis for this 1972 film about America's first congress and the nation's declaration of independence from Britain. Most of the original cast members are aboard, including William Daniels as John Adams. The film is a little stodgy and moves stiffly from scene to scene--the adaptation to the screen is not a smooth success. But it is nonetheless captivating, considering that so few films have dealt directly with America's birth. Directed by Peter H. Hunt. --Tom KeoghComedy DVD Video
