1776

This was a 'musical play' in the late 1960's with the film made in 1972. Needless to say, it is 'dated' in more ways than one and drags in parts. But it is an interesting story of the founding of a great country and it is not without humour. It stars William Daniels whom I don't remember but apparently was in The Graduate. Also, a young Blythe Danner (recently in The Lucky One, see my review) and also Ken Howard (In Her Shoes, which I enjoyed). Good rental or find it on TV.
