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: 36 years later it all comes together!
Comment: I saw this film multiple times in the movies at 4 years of age with my parents and listened to the record also. Twenty years later when purchasing the VHS, I noted that "Cool Considerate Men" wasn't there even though I remembered the song from the record. My father told me then that the song was in the play on Broadway, (which he saw with my mom), but was never in the film.
Now seeing the film WITH "Cool Considerate Men" in the film it has such meaning and I can't but help feel so sad that we couldn't have seen it back in 1972. It was well filmed and has an artistic quality to it.

Summary: Where is Samuel Adams?
Comment: The neglect of Samuel Adams is inexcusable. "I always considered him," said Jefferson, "more than any other member, the fountain of our more important measures."

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.
