This acclaimed film version of Peter Stone's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, which was one of the last big-budget studio musicals, stars William Daniels (TV's Saint Elsewhere) as John Adams and Howard Da Silva as Ben Franklin. A rollicking, anachronistic treatment of the creation of the Declaration of Independence, with the American forefathers conducting themselves with uncharacterstic--and comical--indignity.

    The film doesn't captuyre the raw energy of the stage version. but for a true fan of the gorgeous musical, this is a Must. fans of the genere may be put off by the long gap in between songs in the middle but the songs are as catchy on the 100th view...ing as athe are on the 1st.
