One of my annual rituals for the time around Independence Day is to watch the movie adaptation of “1776”. Sure it has errors but overall I think it SHINES for showing what the DECLARATION Signers had to be thinking and worrying about as they signed their death warrant should the British win the fight.
FYI: this Broadway Play / Musical premiered on stage in 1969, won 3 Tony Awards and ran for 1,217 performances. In 1972 it was adapted for the movie and most recently has been released (2015) in Blu-Ray 4k. There is a revival in work for the 2021 season, we’ll just have to see if it makes it!
Loved it but its terribly unfair to John Dickinson & Edward Rutledge. I guess somebody had to be the villain.
