fun history
This is the director's cut. This film was really worked over before it was released. Nixon was even responsible for an important part of it cut. The commentary is interesting and well worth listening to. William Daniels is a great Adams. According to the commentary, they tried to keep as close to history as possible. Not being a historian I can't speak to that. This is a very enjoyable work. Ron Holgate (who won a Tony for this) is very funny singing "The Lees of Old Virginia". The play opened on Broadway in 1969 and the film in 1972. The material regarding slavery and the political right was radical, for mainstream entertainment, at the time.
