: BUT ... received a copy of "1776," from one of our Colorado friends not too long ago, and made myself a promise to watch it on the 4th of July. Though, obviously, the subject matter was of interest, I had huge reservations about whether or not I would actually enjoy watching Ben Franklin sing ...
When this musical first hit the screens I was in grade school (can't seem to remember which grade though). Our school took us on a field trip to the town theatre for a presentation. I absolutley love it! It was a great learning tool. I think that's the point where I really became interested in the history of that era. If you've never seen the film, find a copy and view it. You won't be dissapointed! I accidentally ran across it on TV about 2 months ago, but unfortunately only caught the last half hour of it. I'm going to have to see if any of the video rental stores in town have it.
