Editorial Reviews:
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 Keogh

Summary: Even Better
Comment: 1776 is an almost unbelievable musical considering the subject matter upon which it is based. Yet it works and is even better and more informative now that the cuts suggested by President Nixon have been restored. This musical gives a humorous and, at many times, angst producing view of the men who produced one of the great documents of history by showing what they left out of it.

Summary: Fun and historical movie
Comment: I think this musical is a great mixture of history, humor and enjoyable music. The characters were well cast. William Daniels as John Adams is superb--okay, not the most melodious singer, but expressive and perfect for the part.
1776 is an excellent choice for viewing on patriotic holidays, especially July 4, of course.
My biggest objection to the movies? Using "Jesus" repeatedly as an exclamation. That is offensive and totally unnecessary.

Summary: Director's cut and commentary are brilliant!
Comment: I saw this on Broadway and in the movies when released. The restored director's cut is a vast improvement in picture, sound and continuity. I love the justice that 30 years brought in allowing the director to have the final say. Take that, Jack Warner!

William Daniels is so magnificent,I've been unable to get him out of my head in subsequent Adams works. He IS Adams to me.

Summary: July 4th Set to Music
Comment: Although heavily panned at its original release and the film did not enjoy the same accolades as the Broadway musical, American History students may find 1776 an easy way to enjoy learing about the men and disagreements behind July 4th. I have used this movie for a college level History class. Most students find it an interesting way to see the founding fathers and the events that led to the declaration of American independence.

Summary: 1776 Movie
Comment: The movie was worth the wait. It is quite accurate and depicts a moment in our history that is the foundation of our country. The acting is believable and takes you to the spot were this all happened.
Worth the money , it should be in your library
