'''''1776''''' is a 1972 American [[musical film]] directed by [[Peter H. Hunt]]. The screenplay by [[Peter Stone]] was based on the 1969 stage musical ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]''. The song score was composed by [[Sherman Edwards]]. The cast included [[William Daniels]], [[Howard Da Silva]], [[John Cullum]], [[Ken Howard]] and [[Blythe Danner]].

Portions of the dialogue and some of the song lyrics were taken directly from the letters and memoirs of the actual participants of the [[Second Continental Congress]].

==Plot==
While General [[George Washington]] is conducting the struggle against the [[British Empire]] on the battlefield, the [[Continental Congress]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] piddles away its time over trivial matters and cannot begin debating the question of [[American Revolution|American independence]]. The leader of the independence faction is the abrasive [[John Adams]] of Massachusetts, whose continuous pushing of the issue has brought their cause to a complete standstill. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]] of Pennsylvania leads the opposition that hopes for reconciliation with England. During his quieter moments, Adams calls up the image of his wife [[Abigail Adams]] who resides in Massachusetts and gives him insight and encouragement. Dr. [[Benjamin Franklin]] of Pennsylvania suggests another colony that supports independence should submit a proposal.

[[Richard Henry Lee]] of Virginia is sent off to [[Williamsburg, Virginia]] to get authorization from the Virginia Colony to propose independence. Dr. [[Lyman Hall]] arrives to represent Georgia, and immediately, he is interrogated by his fellow delegates regarding his views on independence (with Dickinson framing it as "treason"). Weeks later, Lee returns with the [[Lee Resolution|resolution]], and debate on the question begins. The New Jersey delegation, led by Reverend [[John Witherspoon]] arrives just in time to provide a vote supporting independence. However, in the midst of debate, [[Caesar Rodney]] falters because of his cancer and is taken back to Delaware by fellow delegate [[Thomas McKean]], leaving the anti-independence [[George Read]] to represent Delaware.

After heated discussions, the question is called without a majority of positive votes present. In a move intended to defeat the resolution, Dickinson calls for a vote requiring unanimity for passage, and the vote ends in a tie between the colonies which is ultimately decided in favor of unanimity by [[John Hancock]], [[president of the Continental Congress]], who argues that any objecting colony would fight for England against independence. Stalling for time to rally support for the resolution, Adams and Franklin call again for a postponement, justifying their call by stating the need for a declaration describing their grievances. Once again tied and ultimately decided by Hancock, the vote is successfully postponed until such a document can be written.

Hancock appoints a committee that includes Adams, Franklin, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Robert Livingston of New York, and [[Thomas Jefferson]] (after Lee declined due to an appointment to serve as governor of Virginia). Jefferson resists participation because he desires to return home to Virginia to see his wife, [[Martha Jefferson|Martha]], but is left with the task when all other members of the committee present more compelling reasons to avoid the responsibility; the rest of the committee opine that Jefferson's diplomatic nature and superior writing skill are required to draft the declaration. When after a week Jefferson seems to have developed writer's block due to missing his wife, Adams sends for Martha: "It simply occurred to me that the sooner his problem was solved the sooner ours would be," and after actually meeting her both Adams and Franklin are quite taken with Martha. While maneuvering to get the required unanimity for the vote on independence, Adams, Franklin and [[Samuel Chase]] of Maryland visit the Colonial Army encamped in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]], at the request of General Washington, to help convince Maryland.

When they return to Philadelphia, the declaration is read and then subsequently debated and amended. Jefferson agrees to most alterations to the document, much to Adams' growing consternation. The debate reaches a head when the [[Southern United States|Southern]] delegates, led by [[Edward Rutledge]] of South Carolina, walk out of Congress when a clause opposing [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] is not removed. Adams remains adamant that the clause remain, but Franklin appeals to him to allow the passage to be removed so that they can first achieve the vote on independence and the formation of the nation and defer the fight on slavery to a later time. Adams defers the final decision on the passage to Jefferson, who agrees to its removal. After removing that clause, 11 colonies are in favor, but New York abstains (as it does for every vote, since the delegates were never given specific orders by the disorganized New York legislature).

The question is up to the Colony of Pennsylvania, whose delegation is polled at Franklin's request. Franklin votes for the declaration, but Dickinson votes against. The outcome is now in the hands of their fellow Pennsylvanian Judge [[James Wilson]]. Wilson has always followed Dickinson's lead, but in this case Wilson votes in favor of the declaration, securing its passage, so that he would not be remembered by history as the man who voted to prevent American independence. After receiving word of the destruction of his property from General Washington, [[Lewis Morris]] finally withdraws New York's abstention and agrees to sign the document. Finally, with the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] ready to be signed, each colony (including New York) affixes their signature to the Declaration, establishing the United States on July 4, 1776.

==Soundtrack==
An original motion picture [[soundtrack album]] was released in 1972 by [[Columbia Records]], on the vinyl [[LP album|LP]] format. It contained all the musical numbers listed above with the exception of "Cool, Cool Considerate Men" and "Compliments". This soundtrack also contains the edited versions of some of the musical numbers which were presented in full on the [[laserdisc]] and [[DVD]] releases. Although the Broadway cast recording was released on [[compact disc|CD]] in 1992, the movie soundtrack has not.

==Production==
[[Jack L. Warner]] bought the screen rights to the musical for $1.25 million.

Many members of the original [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] cast, including [[William Daniels]], [[Ken Howard]], [[John Cullum]], and [[Howard Da Silva]], reprised their roles for the film. [[Ralston Hill]] and Charles Rule also repeated their roles from the Broadway production, marking their only appearances in feature film.

Exteriors were filmed at the Warner Ranch in Burbank, California, the former Columbia Pictures backlot, where they built an entire street of colonial Philadelphia. Most of the colonial sets were destroyed by a fire in the mid-1970s.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

The water fountain seen during the musical number "The Lees of Old Virginia," with [[Ben Franklin]], [[John Adams]], and [[Richard Henry Lee]], is best known to current television viewers as the fountain seen at the beginning of the TV show ''[[Friends]]''. This fountain still exists directly across the street from the ''[[Bewitched]]'' and ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'' houses.<ref>http://www.columbiaranch.net/Park/</ref>

Interiors were shot at the old Columbia studio on Gower Street in Hollywood.<ref>{{cite web|title=COLUMBIA TRISTAR PICTURES SONY ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION | WORLD ELECTRIC NAVIGATION CHALLENGE | SOLAR COLA, COKE, PEPSI, VIRGIN, COCA COLA. |url=http://www.solarnavigator.net/columbia_pictures_sony_entertainment.htm|work=|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5iQIWn8c6|archivedate=2009-07-20|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-07-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Sunset-Gower Studios (formerly Columbia Studios) |author=Gary Wayne |url=http://www.seeing-stars.com/Studios/SunsetGower.shtml|work=|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5iQIf7vwC|archivedate=2009-07-20|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-07-11}}</ref> ''1776'' was among the final films shot at Gower Studios before the Warner/Columbia merger in 1971.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/89664/1776/notes.html |title=1776 (1972) - Notes |publisher=TCM.com |date=1969-03-16 |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

In its theatrical and original home video releases, the film was rated G; following the restoration of various parts cut by producer [[Jack Warner]], the [[DVD]] was rated PG.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The [[Laserdisc]] version, out of print, contains additional footage and background music not contained on the DVD release. The 168-minute version is considered director Peter Hunt's preferred version, hence its "[[director's cut]]" [[moniker]]. The film was the Christmas attraction at [[Radio City Music Hall]] in New York City.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

"Cool, Cool, Considerate Men" was cut from the film prior to its release and not included on the soundtrack recording nor on the first VHS tapes and laserdiscs. The footage, some of physically poor quality, was restored for the later laserdisc and DVD releases.

==Political changes==
According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', "The song 'Cool, Cool, Considerate Men' depicts Revolutionary War–era conservatives as power-hungry wheedlers focused on maintaining wealth."<ref name="cool" /> According to Jack L. Warner, the film's producer and a friend of [[United States President|U.S. President]] [[Richard Nixon]], Nixon requested to have the song removed from the film. Nixon apparently saw the song as an insult to the conservatives of his time, as it suggested that the conservatives were the ones who were hindering American Independence as they danced a [[minuet]] singing the song that included the [[stanza]],
<blockquote><poem>Come ye cool, cool considerate set
We'll dance together to the same minuet
To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right.
</poem></blockquote>
To further complicate things as mentioned above, the song is anachronistic, because the terms "right" and "left" in politics were not coined until the [[French Revolution]].

Warner's attempt to comply with Nixon's demands had initially been rebuffed by director Hunt during production, only for the song to be removed in post-production while Hunt was on vacation. Warner also wanted the original negative of the song shredded, but the film's editor kept it in storage unaltered.<ref name="cool" /> Trailers were already released in theaters with the "Considerate Men" number as its centerpiece; Warner had those trailers pulled and re-edited.<ref name="rwb" /> Hunt later mentioned in a 2015 interview that Warner, on his deathbed, told a friend that he regretted editing the scene, believing that he had ruined the structure of the film as a result of those edits.<ref name="rwb">Epstein, Ronald (May 20, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=996&v=sU84JvdElq8 Peter Hunt interview.] ''Home Theater Forum".</ref> It was only decades later that the song was restored to the film.<ref name="cool">[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/sep/07/entertainment/ca-42982 Heated Debate About 'Cool' Cut], [http://articles.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times Archives], September 07, 2001, Accessed 2009-05-30</ref>

Interestingly, when the Broadway musical was about to be presented to Nixon at the [[White House]] in 1970, before the film was made, his staff pressed the producers to cut the song then; their request was denied.<ref name="cool" />

==Historical accuracy==
According to ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'', historical "[i]naccuracies pervade ''1776'', though few are very troubling."<ref>Peter C. Rollins, ed., ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'' (Columbia University Press, 2004, ISBN 0-231-11222-X), p. 154.</ref> Because Congress was held in secrecy and there are no contemporary records on the debate over the Declaration of Independence, the authors of the play created the narrative based on later accounts and educated guesses, inventing scenes and dialogue as needed for storytelling purposes. Some of the dialogue was taken from words written, often years or even decades later, by the actual people involved, and rearranged for dramatic effect.<ref>Stone and Edwards, pp. 153–65, describing the play's historical basis and dramatic license.</ref>

The movie particularly distorts and omits the views of the mid-Atlantic Quaker population, represented by Dickinson. Although in the movie Dickinson is portrayed as loyalist, and John Adams is seen making the points of objection about the tax abuses of [[George III of the United Kingdom]], including regressive taxes and "taxation without representation, and all to fund wars and the King's lifestyle, not to benefit the people, it was Dickinson's [[Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania]] that had originally made these points. A supposed physical fight between Dickinson and Adams is portrayed, in which Dickinson calls Adams a "lawyer" as an epithet, which makes little sense since Dickinson was a lawyer himself.

Also, despite the movie's heavy focus on John Adams, John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, only [[Martha Jefferson]] and [[Abigail Adams]] and their marriages are depicted, despite Dickinson's wife, [[Mary Norris Dickinson]], being the only one of these spouses actually present in Philadelphia during the convention. (Franklin's common law wife, [[Deborah Read]], had died a year or so earlier.) Although the movie initially uses actual correspondence between Abigail Adams and John Adams as a basis for dialogue, it romanticizes her views in later scenes. The movie also fictionalizes the Martha Jefferson relationship in particular, depicting her as coming to the convention, when she had actually just suffered a miscarriage and was also dealing with complications of gestational diabetes and was invalid in Virginia. The omission of Mary Norris and Dickinson's marriage to her is also particularly distorting as Quaker marriages such as that of Dickinson and Norris were more egalitarian than those of some of the other founding cultures (including the patriarchal Puritan-style Adams marriage, to which Abigail Adams objects in her letters quoted in the movie) and were by definition not bound to gender stereotypes.

Another departure from history is that the separation from Great Britain was accomplished in two steps: the actual vote for independence came on July 2 with the approval of Lee's [[resolution of independence]]. The wording of the Declaration of Independence—the statement to the world as to the reasons necessitating the split—was then debated for three days before being approved on July 4. The vote for independence did not hinge on some passages being removed from the Declaration, as implied in the movie (and the play), since Congress had already voted in favor of independence before debating the Declaration. For the sake of drama, the play's authors combined the two events.<ref name="Book158">Stone and Edwards, p. 158.</ref> In addition, some historians believe that the Declaration was not signed on July 4, as shown in ''1776'', but was instead signed on August 2, 1776. Others point out that the final, official copy of the document was signed by the delegates not on a single date, but over several weeks and months, commencing in July but not being completed until as late as September. The authors of ''1776'' had the delegates sign the Declaration on July 4 for dramatic reasons.<ref name="Book158" />

The [[Liberty Bell]] in ''1776'' is shown being rung as the delegates were signing the Declaration on July 4, however, this was also for dramatic effect. The bell actually was not rung that day, but on July 8, when the Declaration was exhibited to the public.<ref>http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/liberty-bell-tolls-to-announce-declaration-of-independence?cmpid=Social_Facebook_TDIH_07082014_1</ref>

Many characters in ''1776'' differ from their historical counterparts. Central to the drama is the depiction of John Adams as "obnoxious and disliked". According to biographer [[David McCullough]], however, Adams was one of the most respected members of Congress in 1776. Adams's often-quoted description of himself in Congress as "obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular" is from a letter written forty-six years later in 1822,<ref>[http://personal.pitnet.net/primarysources/pickering.html Letter from Adams to [[Timothy Pickering]], 1822]. Adams also described himself as "obnoxious" in his [http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/cfm/doc.cfm?id=A1_24 ''Autobiography''], written in 1805.</ref> after his unpopular presidency had likely colored his view of the past. According to McCullough, no delegate described Adams as obnoxious in 1776.<ref>McCullough, David. ''[[John Adams (book)|John Adams]]'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001), pp. 119–20.</ref> Historian [[Garry Wills]] earlier made a similar argument, writing that "historians relay John Adams's memories without sufficient skepticism", and that it was Dickinson, not Adams, who was advocating an unpopular position in 1776.<ref>Wills, Garry. ''Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence'' (New York: Doubleday, 1978), pp. 349–50.</ref>

For practical and dramatic purposes, the work does not depict all of the more than 50 members of Congress who were present at the time. This version of John Adams is, in part, a [[composite character]], combining the real Adams with his cousin [[Samuel Adams]], who was in Congress at the time but is not depicted in the play.<ref name="Book162">Stone and Edwards, p. 162.</ref> Although the play depicts [[Caesar Rodney]] as an elderly man near death from skin cancer (which would eventually kill him), he was just 47 years old at the time and continued to be very active in the Revolution after signing the Declaration. He was not absent from the voting because of health, however the play is accurate in having him arrive "in the nick of time", having ridden eighty miles the night before (an event depicted on Delaware's 1999 [[State Quarter]]) unaided, instead of with the help of another delegate. Further, Richard Henry Lee announces that he is returning to Virginia to serve as governor. He was never governor; his cousin [[Henry Lee III|Henry Lee]] (who is anachronistically called "General 'Lighthorse' Harry Lee", a rank and nickname earned later) did eventually become governor and would also become the father of Confederate general [[Robert E. Lee]]. John Adams was also depicted in the play and the film as disliking Richard Henry Lee. That is not the case as, according to David McCullough, Adams expressed nothing but "respect and admiration for the tall, masterly Virginian." He did, however, contrary to what was portrayed in the play and the film, dislike Benjamin Franklin. Martha Jefferson never traveled to Philadelphia to be with her husband. In fact, she was extremely ill during the summer of 1776, having just endured a miscarriage. The play's authors invented the scene "to show something of the young Jefferson's life without destroying the [[Classical unities|unity of setting]]."<ref name="Book161">Stone and Edwards, p. 161.</ref> [[James Wilson]] was not the indecisive milquetoast depicted in the play and the movie. The real Wilson, who was not yet a judge in 1776, had been cautious about supporting independence at an earlier date, but he supported the resolution of independence when it came up for a vote. Pennsylvania's deciding swing vote was actually cast by [[John Morton (politician)|John Morton]], who is not depicted in the musical.<ref name="Book162" />

The quote attributed to [[Edmund Burke]] by Dr. Lyman Hall in a key scene with John Adams is a paraphrase of a real quote by Mr. Burke.<ref>"Your Representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." Edmund Burke, Select Works of Edmund Burke. A New Imprint of the Payne Edition. Foreword and Biographical Note by Francis Canavan (Indianapolis: :Liberty Fund, 1999). Vol. 4. Chapter: Speech to the Electors of Bristol, Accessed from http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/659/20392/1385301 on 2010-04-15.</ref>

The song "Cool Considerate Men" is anachronistic; the terms [[Left–right politics#History of the terms|"right" and "left"]] in politics were not in use until the [[French Revolution]] of 1789. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]], who is portrayed as an antagonist here, was motivated mainly by his Quaker roots and his respect for the British Constitution, having lived in England for 3 years in the 1750s.<ref>Jack Rakove: The Patriot Who Refused to Sign the Declaration of Independence, http://www.historynet.com/the-patriot-who-refused-to-sign-the-declaration-of-independence.htm</ref> He was no wealthier than some members of the pro-Independence faction, and freed his slaves in 1777. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "his name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/04/jefferson.letter/index.html | work=CNN | title=Student finds letter 'a link to Jefferson' - CNN.com | accessdate=May 6, 2010 | date=December 8, 2009}}</ref>

The movie also misses the objection some had to the Declaration's stated basis in "rights of Man" based in "natural law" derived from a supernatural being. The Quaker-based population in the mid-Atlantic, represented by Dickinson, objected to this conception. Dickinson's objection to the Declaration had to do with this, as well as the fact he and his base preferred civil disobedience to war as the means, and a view that the colonies were too immature and the egalitarian mid-Atlantic culture would be overruled by the slavery of the South and the patriarchal Puritan attitudes of New England, represented by John Adams, in the foundation of the new country. The movie also omits the fact that Dickinson, after refusing to sign the Declaration, set about drafting the [[Articles of Confederation]], which he based on "rights of Person" with no reference to anything but law created by human beings and the only reference to "men" being in the context of mustering armies. This basis was then used when the Articles were converted to the Constitution but by then completely omitting the word "man" and only using the word "Person."

The musical also deviates from history in its portrayal of attitudes about slavery. In ''1776'', after a dramatic debate over slavery, the southern delegates walk out in protest of the Declaration's denunciation of the slave trade, and only support independence when that language was removed from the Declaration. The walkout is fictional, and apparently most delegates, northern and southern, supported the deletion of the clause.

The musical depicts [[Edward Rutledge]] as the leader of the opposition to an anti-slavery clause in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration. However, while we do know that, according to Jefferson, the clause was opposed by South Carolina and Georgia, plus unspecified "northern brethren";<ref>''The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia: a Comprehensive Collection of the Views of Thomas Jefferson'' (1900) by Thomas Jefferson, edited by John P. Foley, p. 246</ref> that is all that is known about opposition to the clause. Rutledge was a delegate from South Carolina, but there is no historical evidence that he played any part – much less a leadership role – in the opposition to the clause.<ref>Nothing is known of what Rutledge said or did during the Continental Congress, as the Congress was conducted in closed session and its members had made a pact of secrecy. No letters or memoirs have been found in which his participation is specified, and no record has been found as to what Rutledge did or did not say in regard to Jefferson's complaint about the King's freeing of slaves and veto of slave tariffs. See, e.g., ''Lives of the Presidents of the United States'' by Robert W. Lincoln (1836), p. 390; ''Sanderson's Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence'' (1846) by John Sanderson and Robert Taylor Conrad, p. 351; ''The United States Manual of Biography and History'' by James V. Marshall (1856), p. 115; ''An Outline of the Political and Social Life of George Washington'', Volume 2 (1895) by James Tyson, p. 339.</ref> The musical does acknowledge the complexity of the colonial attitudes toward slavery in the dramatic song "Molasses, to Rum, to Slaves", sung by the Rutledge character, which illustrates the hypocrisy in northern condemnations of slavery since northerners profited from the [[triangle trade]].

Thomas Jefferson is depicted in the musical as saying that he has resolved to free his slaves, something he did not do, except for a few slaves freed after his death 50 years later. The musical also depicts Franklin as claiming that he is the founder of the first abolitionist organization in the New World; the real Franklin did not become an abolitionist until after the American Revolution, becoming president of the [[Pennsylvania Abolition Society]] in 1785.<ref>Isaacson, Walter. ''Benjamin Franklin: An American Life'' (2003).</ref> It was actually Dickinson who freed his slaves in 1776, conditionally at first, and fully by 1787 when the Constitution was ratified.

In both the play and the film, John Adams sarcastically predicts that Benjamin Franklin will receive from posterity too great a share of credit for the Revolution. "Franklin smote the ground and out sprang—George Washington.. Fully grown, and on his horse. Franklin then electrified them with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them—Franklin, Washington, and the horse—conducted the entire Revolution all by themselves." Adams did make a similar comment about Franklin in April 1790, just after Franklin's death, although the mention of the horse was a humorous twist added by the authors of the musical.<ref name="Old Family Letters">'Old Family Letters', http://books.google.com/books?id=84oTAQAAMAAJ&dq=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&pg=PA55#v=onepage&q=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&f=false</ref>

==Critical reception==
[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' observed, "The music is resolutely unmemorable. The lyrics sound as if they'd been written by someone high on [[root beer]], and the book is familiar history — compressed here, stretched there — that has been gagged up and paced to Broadway's not inspiring standards. Yet Peter H. Hunt's screen version of ''1776'' ... insists on being so entertaining and, at times, even moving, that you might as well stop resisting it. This reaction, I suspect, represents a clear triumph of emotional associations over material ... [It] is far from being a landmark of musical cinema, but it is the first film in my memory that comes close to treating seriously a magnificent chapter in the American history."<ref>{{cite web|last=Canby |first=Vincent |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=980DE1D7113DEF34BC4852DFB7678389669EDE |title=''New York Times'' review |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=1972-11-10 |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it two stars and declared, "This is an insult to the real men who were Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest ... The performances trapped inside these roles, as you might expect, are fairly dreadful. There are good actors in the movie (especially William Daniels as Adams and Donald Madden as John Dickinson), but they're forced to strut and posture so much that you wonder if they ever scratched or spit or anything ... I can hardly bear to remember the songs, much less discuss them. Perhaps I shouldn't. It is just too damn bad this movie didn't take advantage of its right to the pursuit of happiness."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19721226/REVIEWS/212260301/1023 |title=''Chicago Sun-Times'' review |publisher=Rogerebert.suntimes.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

==Awards and nominations==
The film was nominated for the [[Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy]] but lost to ''[[Cabaret (1972 film)|Cabaret]]''. [[Harry Stradling Jr.]] was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography]] but lost to [[Geoffrey Unsworth]] for ''Cabaret''.

==Home media releases==
The film was released on [[videocassette]] and [[laserdisc]] in the 1980s, and on [[DVD]] in 2002.

==Cast==
* [[Ryan Potter]] as [[Hiro Takachiho|Hiro Hamada]], a 14-year-old robotics prodigy. Hiro's battle bots dominate the underground bot fights of San Fransokyo. His brother Tadashi redirects him, inspiring Hiro to gain admission to San Fransokyo's Institute of Technology. Speaking of the character, co-director Don Hall said "Hiro is transitioning from boy to man, it’s a tough time for a kid and some teenagers develop that inevitable snarkiness and jaded attitude. Luckily Ryan is a very likeable kid. So no matter what he did, he was able to take edge off the character in a way that made him authentic, but appealing."<ref name=USATodayTruitt>{{cite web|last=Truitt|first=Brian|title=Meet the saviors of San Fransokyo in 'Big Hero 6'|url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2014/07/13/big-hero-6-character-reveal-exclusive/12535005/|publisher=USA Today|accessdate=July 13, 2014|date=July 13, 2014}}</ref><ref name=DeadlineMayaJames /><ref name="Hiro">{{cite web|title=Hiro|url=https://thismoment-a.akamaihd.net/other/1410708503-2030.pdf|publisher=xprizechallenge.org|accessdate=September 24, 2014}}</ref>
* [[Scott Adsit]] as [[Baymax]], an inflatable robot built by Tadashi to serve as a healthcare companion. Hall said "Baymax views the world from one perspective—he just wants to help people, he sees Hiro as his patient." Producer Roy Conli said "The fact that his character is a robot limits how you can emote, but Scott was hilarious.

* [[Damon Wayans, Jr.]] as [[Wasabi-No-Ginger|Wasabi]], a smart, slightly neurotic, heavily built neat-freak. On the character, co-director [[Chris Williams (director)|Chris Williams]] said "He’s actually the most conservative, cautious—he [''sic''] the most normal among a group of brazen characters.

* [[T. J. Miller]] as [[Fredzilla|Fred / Fredzilla]], a laid-back comic-book fan. Speaking of Miller, Williams said "He’s a real student of comedy.

With respect to the design of Baymax, Hall mentioned in an interview, "I wanted a robot that we had never seen before and something to be wholly original. That's a tough thing to do, we've got a lot of robots in pop culture, everything from '[[Terminator (character)|The Terminator]]' to '[[WALL-E#Cast_and_characters|WALL-E]]' to [[C-3PO]] on down the line and not to mention Japanese robots, I won't go into that. So I wanted to do something original." Early on in the development process, Hall and the design team took a research trip to [[Carnegie Mellon University]]'s [[Robotics Institute]], where they met a team of researchers who were pioneering the new field of 'soft robotics' using inflatable vinyl,<ref>http://www.cmu.edu/homepage/health/2011/winter/soft-bots.shtml</ref><ref>http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/01/inflatable-robot-arm-wont-break-any-bones/</ref> which ultimately inspired the Baymax’s inflatable, vinyl, truly huggable design.<ref>http://geekdad.com/2014/10/technology-big-hero-6/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/2iuxn3/we_are_chris_williams_don_hall_roy_conli_and_paul/</ref> Hall stated that "I met a researcher who was working on soft robots. ... It was an inflatable vinyl arm and the practical app would be in the health care industry as a nurse or doctor's assistant. He had me at vinyl. This particular researcher went into this long pitch but the minute he showed me that inflatable arm, I knew we had our huggable robot."<ref>http://news.moviefone.com/2014/07/15/big-hero-6-directors-new-trailer/</ref> Hall stated that the technology "will have potential probably in the medical industry in the future, making robots that are very pliable and gentle and not going to hurt people when they pick them up." Hall mentioned that the look of the mechanical armor took some time "because of the sheer amount of robots out there and just trying to get something that felt like the personality of the character." Co-director Williams stated, "A big part of the design challenge is when he puts on the armor you want to feel that he’s a very powerful intimidating presence...at the same time, design-wise he has to relate to the really adorable simple vinyl robot underneath."<ref>{{cite web|last=McDaniel|first=Matt|title=First Teaser for Marvel and Disney's 'Big Hero 6': Meet Their 'Huggable' Robot|url=https://www.yahoo.com/movies/big-hero-6-exclusive-teaser-trailer-walt-disney-86509088837.html|publisher=Yahoo!

'''''1776''''' is a 1972 American [[musical film]] directed by [[Peter H. Hunt]]. The screenplay by [[Peter Stone]] was based on the 1969 stage musical ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]''. The song score was composed by [[Sherman Edwards]]. The cast included [[William Daniels]], [[Howard Da Silva]], [[John Cullum]], [[Ken Howard]] and [[Blythe Danner]].

Portions of the dialogue and some of the song lyrics were taken directly from the letters and memoirs of the actual participants of the [[Second Continental Congress]].

==Plot==
While General [[George Washington]] is conducting the struggle against the [[British Empire]] on the battlefield, the [[Continental Congress]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] piddles away its time over trivial matters and cannot begin debating the question of [[American Revolution|American independence]]. The leader of the independence faction is the abrasive [[John Adams]] of Massachusetts, whose continuous pushing of the issue has brought their cause to a complete standstill. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]] of Pennsylvania leads the opposition that hopes for reconciliation with England. During his quieter moments, Adams calls up the image of his wife [[Abigail Adams]] who resides in Massachusetts and gives him insight and encouragement. Dr. [[Benjamin Franklin]] of Pennsylvania suggests another colony that supports independence should submit a proposal.

[[Richard Henry Lee]] of Virginia is sent off to [[Williamsburg, Virginia]] to get authorization from the Virginia Colony to propose independence. Dr. [[Lyman Hall]] arrives to represent Georgia, and immediately, he is interrogated by his fellow delegates regarding his views on independence (with Dickinson framing it as "treason"). Weeks later, Lee returns with the [[Lee Resolution|resolution]], and debate on the question begins. The New Jersey delegation, led by Reverend [[John Witherspoon]] arrives just in time to provide a vote supporting independence. However, in the midst of debate, [[Caesar Rodney]] falters because of his cancer and is taken back to Delaware by fellow delegate [[Thomas McKean]], leaving the anti-independence [[George Read]] to represent Delaware.

After heated discussions, the question is called without a majority of positive votes present. In a move intended to defeat the resolution, Dickinson calls for a vote requiring unanimity for passage, and the vote ends in a tie between the colonies which is ultimately decided in favor of unanimity by [[John Hancock]], [[president of the Continental Congress]], who argues that any objecting colony would fight for England against independence. Stalling for time to rally support for the resolution, Adams and Franklin call again for a postponement, justifying their call by stating the need for a declaration describing their grievances. Once again tied and ultimately decided by Hancock, the vote is successfully postponed until such a document can be written.

Hancock appoints a committee that includes Adams, Franklin, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Robert Livingston of New York, and [[Thomas Jefferson]] (after Lee declined due to an appointment to serve as governor of Virginia). Jefferson resists participation because he desires to return home to Virginia to see his wife, [[Martha Jefferson|Martha]], but is left with the task when all other members of the committee present more compelling reasons to avoid the responsibility; the rest of the committee opine that Jefferson's diplomatic nature and superior writing skill are required to draft the declaration. When after a week Jefferson seems to have developed writer's block due to missing his wife, Adams sends for Martha: "It simply occurred to me that the sooner his problem was solved the sooner ours would be," and after actually meeting her both Adams and Franklin are quite taken with Martha. While maneuvering to get the required unanimity for the vote on independence, Adams, Franklin and [[Samuel Chase]] of Maryland visit the Colonial Army encamped in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]], at the request of General Washington, to help convince Maryland.

When they return to Philadelphia, the declaration is read and then subsequently debated and amended. Jefferson agrees to most alterations to the document, much to Adams' growing consternation. The debate reaches a head when the [[Southern United States|Southern]] delegates, led by [[Edward Rutledge]] of South Carolina, walk out of Congress when a clause opposing [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] is not removed. Adams remains adamant that the clause remain, but Franklin appeals to him to allow the passage to be removed so that they can first achieve the vote on independence and the formation of the nation and defer the fight on slavery to a later time. Adams defers the final decision on the passage to Jefferson, who agrees to its removal. After removing that clause, 11 colonies are in favor, but New York abstains (as it does for every vote, since the delegates were never given specific orders by the disorganized New York legislature).

The question is up to the Colony of Pennsylvania, whose delegation is polled at Franklin's request. Franklin votes for the declaration, but Dickinson votes against. The outcome is now in the hands of their fellow Pennsylvanian Judge [[James Wilson]]. Wilson has always followed Dickinson's lead, but in this case Wilson votes in favor of the declaration, securing its passage, so that he would not be remembered by history as the man who voted to prevent American independence. After receiving word of the destruction of his property from General Washington, [[Lewis Morris]] finally withdraws New York's abstention and agrees to sign the document. Finally, with the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] ready to be signed, each colony (including New York) affixes their signature to the Declaration, establishing the United States on July 4, 1776.

==Soundtrack==
An original motion picture [[soundtrack album]] was released in 1972 by [[Columbia Records]], on the vinyl [[LP album|LP]] format. It contained all the musical numbers listed above with the exception of "Cool, Cool Considerate Men" and "Compliments". This soundtrack also contains the edited versions of some of the musical numbers which were presented in full on the [[laserdisc]] and [[DVD]] releases. Although the Broadway cast recording was released on [[compact disc|CD]] in 1992, the movie soundtrack has not yet been.

==Production==
[[Jack L. Warner]] bought the screen rights to the musical for $1.25 million.

Many members of the original [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] cast, including [[William Daniels]], [[Ken Howard]], [[John Cullum]], and [[Howard Da Silva]], reprised their roles for the film. [[Ralston Hill]] and Charles Rule also repeated their roles from the Broadway production, marking their only appearances in feature film.

Exteriors were filmed at the Warner Ranch in Burbank, California, the former Columbia Pictures backlot, where they built an entire street of colonial Philadelphia. Most of the colonial sets were destroyed by a fire in the mid-1970s.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

The water fountain seen during the musical number "The Lees of Old Virginia," with [[Ben Franklin]], [[John Adams]], and [[Richard Henry Lee]], is best known to current television viewers as the fountain seen at the beginning of the TV show ''[[Friends]]''. This fountain still exists directly across the street from the ''[[Bewitched]]'' and ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'' houses.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

In its theatrical and original home video releases, the film was rated G; following the restoration of various parts cut by producer [[Jack Warner]], the [[DVD]] was rated PG.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The [[Laserdisc]] version, out of print, contains additional footage and background music not contained on the DVD release. The 168-minute version is considered director Peter Hunt's preferred version, hence its "[[director's cut]]" [[moniker]]. The film was the Christmas attraction at [[Radio City Music Hall]] in New York City.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

"Cool, Cool, Considerate Men" was cut from the film prior to its release and not included on the soundtrack recording nor on the first VHS tapes and laserdiscs. The footage, some of physically poor quality, was restored for the later laserdisc and DVD releases.

==Political changes==
According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', "The song 'Cool, Cool, Considerate Men' depicts Revolutionary War–era conservatives as power-hungry wheedlers focused on maintaining wealth."<ref name="cool" /> According to Jack L. Warner, the film's producer and a friend of [[United States President|U.S. President]] [[Richard Nixon]], Nixon requested to have the song removed from the film. Nixon apparently saw the song as an insult to the conservatives of his time, it suggesting that the conservatives were the ones who were hindering American Independence as they danced a [[minuet]] singing the song that included the [[stanza]],
<blockquote><poem>Come ye cool, cool considerate set
We'll dance together to the same minuet
To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right.
</poem></blockquote>
To further complicate things as mentioned above, the song is anachronistic, because the terms "right" and "left" in politics were not coined until the [[French Revolution]].

Warner's attempt to comply with Nixon's demands had initially been rebuffed by director Hunt during production, only for the song to be removed in post-production while Hunt was on vacation. Warner also wanted the original negative of the song shredded, but the film's editor kept it in storage unaltered. It was only decades later that the song was restored to the film.<ref name="cool">[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/sep/07/entertainment/ca-42982 Heated Debate About 'Cool' Cut], [http://articles.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times Archives], September 07, 2001, Accessed 2009-05-30</ref>

Interestingly, when the show was about presented to Nixon at the [[White House]] in 1970, his staff pressed the producers to cut the song; their request was denied.<ref name="cool" />

==Historical accuracy==
According to ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'', historical "[i]naccuracies pervade ''1776'', though few are very troubling."<ref>Peter C. Rollins, ed., ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'' (Columbia University Press, 2004, ISBN 0-231-11222-X), p. 154.</ref> Because Congress was held in secrecy and there are no contemporary records on the debate over the Declaration of Independence, the authors of the play created the narrative based on later accounts and educated guesses, inventing scenes and dialogue as needed for storytelling purposes. Some of the dialogue was taken from words written, often years or even decades later, by the actual people involved, and rearranged for dramatic effect.<ref>Stone and Edwards, pp. 153–65, describing the play's historical basis and dramatic license.</ref>

The movie particularly distorts and omits the views of the mid-Atlantic Quaker population, represented by Dickinson. Although in the movie Dickinson is portrayed as loyalist, and John Adams is seen making the points of objection about the tax abuses of [[George III of the United Kingdom]], including regressive taxes and "taxation without representation, and all to fund wars and the King's lifestyle, not to benefit the people, it was Dickinson's [[Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania]] that had originally made these points. A supposed physical fight between Dickinson and Adams is portrayed, in which Dickinson calls Adams a "lawyer" as an epithet, which makes little sense since Dickinson was a lawyer himself.

Also, despite the movie's heavy focus on John Adams, John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, only [[Martha Jefferson]] and [[Abigail Adams]] and their marriages are depicted, despite Dickinson's wife, [[Mary Norris Dickinson]], being the only one of these spouses actually present in Philadelphia during the convention. (Franklin's common law wife, [[Deborah Read]], had died a year or so earlier.) Although the movie initially uses actual correspondence between Abigail Adams and John Adams as a basis for dialogue, it romanticizes her views in later scenes. The movie also fictionalizes the Martha Jefferson relationship in particular, depicting her as coming to the convention, when she had actually just suffered a miscarriage and was also dealing with complications of gestational diabetes and was invalid in Virginia. The omission of Mary Norris and Dickinson's marriage to her is also particularly distorting as Quaker marriages such as that of Dickinson and Norris were more egalitarian than those of some of the other founding cultures (including the patriarchal Puritan-style Adams marriage, to which Abigail Adams objects in her letters quoted in the movie) and were by definition not bound to gender stereotypes.

Another departure from history is that the separation from Great Britain was accomplished in two steps: the actual vote for independence came on July 2 with the approval of Lee's [[resolution of independence]]. The wording of the Declaration of Independence—the statement to the world as to the reasons necessitating the split—was then debated for three days before being approved on July 4. The vote for independence did not hinge on some passages being removed from the Declaration, as implied in the movie (and the play), since Congress had already voted in favor of independence before debating the Declaration. For the sake of drama, the play's authors combined the two events.<ref name="Book158">Stone and Edwards, p. 158.</ref> In addition, some historians believe that the Declaration was not signed on July 4, as shown in ''1776'', but was instead signed on August 2, 1776. Others point out that the final, official copy of the document was signed by the delegates not on a single date, but over several weeks and months, commencing in July but not being completed until as late as September. The authors of ''1776'' had the delegates sign the Declaration on July 4 for dramatic reasons.<ref name="Book158" />

The [[Liberty Bell]] in ''1776'' is shown being rung as the delegates were signing the Declaration on July 4, however, this was also for dramatic effect. The bell actually was not rung that day, but on July 8, when the Declaration was exhibited to the public.<ref>http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/liberty-bell-tolls-to-announce-declaration-of-independence?cmpid=Social_Facebook_TDIH_07082014_1</ref>

Many characters in ''1776'' differ from their historical counterparts. Central to the drama is the depiction of John Adams as "obnoxious and disliked". According to biographer [[David McCullough]], however, Adams was one of the most respected members of Congress in 1776. Adams's often-quoted description of himself in Congress as "obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular" is from a letter written forty-six years later in 1822,<ref>[http://personal.pitnet.net/primarysources/pickering.html Letter from Adams to [[Timothy Pickering]], 1822]. Adams also described himself as "obnoxious" in his [http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/cfm/doc.cfm?id=A1_24 ''Autobiography''], written in 1805.</ref> after his unpopular presidency had likely colored his view of the past. According to McCullough, no delegate described Adams as obnoxious in 1776.<ref>McCullough, David. ''[[John Adams (book)|John Adams]]'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001), pp. 119–20.</ref> Historian [[Garry Wills]] earlier made a similar argument, writing that "historians relay John Adams's memories without sufficient skepticism", and that it was Dickinson, not Adams, who was advocating an unpopular position in 1776.<ref>Wills, Garry. ''Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence'' (New York: Doubleday, 1978), pp. 349–50.</ref>

For practical and dramatic purposes, the work does not depict all of the more than 50 members of Congress who were present at the time. This version of John Adams is, in part, a [[composite character]], combining the real Adams with his cousin [[Samuel Adams]], who was in Congress at the time but is not depicted in the play.<ref name="Book162">Stone and Edwards, p. 162.</ref> Although the play depicts [[Caesar Rodney]] as an elderly man near death from skin cancer (which would eventually kill him), he was just 47 years old at the time and continued to be very active in the Revolution after signing the Declaration. He was not absent from the voting because of health, however the play is accurate in having him arrive "in the nick of time", having ridden eighty miles the night before (an event depicted on Delaware's 1999 [[State Quarter]]) unaided, instead of with the help of another delegate. Further, Richard Henry Lee announces that he is returning to Virginia to serve as governor. He was never governor; his cousin [[Henry Lee III|Henry Lee]] (who is anachronistically called "General 'Lighthorse' Harry Lee", a rank and nickname earned later) did eventually become governor and would also become the father of Confederate general [[Robert E. Lee]]. John Adams was also depicted in the play and the film as disliking Richard Henry Lee. That is not the case as, according to David McCullough, Adams expressed nothing but "respect and admiration for the tall, masterly Virginian." He did, however, contrary to what was portrayed in the play and the film, dislike Benjamin Franklin. Martha Jefferson never traveled to Philadelphia to be with her husband. In fact, she was extremely ill during the summer of 1776, having just endured a miscarriage. The play's authors invented the scene "to show something of the young Jefferson's life without destroying the [[Classical unities|unity of setting]]."<ref name="Book161">Stone and Edwards, p. 161.</ref> [[James Wilson]] was not the indecisive milquetoast depicted in the play and the movie. The real Wilson, who was not yet a judge in 1776, had been cautious about supporting independence at an earlier date, but he supported the resolution of independence when it came up for a vote. Pennsylvania's deciding swing vote was actually cast by [[John Morton (politician)|John Morton]], who is not depicted in the musical.<ref name="Book162" />

The quote attributed to [[Edmund Burke]] by Dr. Lyman Hall in a key scene with John Adams is a paraphrase of a real quote by Mr. Burke.<ref>"Your Representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." Edmund Burke, Select Works of Edmund Burke. A New Imprint of the Payne Edition. Foreword and Biographical Note by Francis Canavan (Indianapolis: :Liberty Fund, 1999). Vol. 4.

The song "Cool Considerate Men" is anachronistic, because, the terms [[Left–right politics#History of the terms|"right" and "left"]] in politics were not in use until the [[French Revolution]] of 1789. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]], who is portrayed as an antagonist here, was motivated mainly by his Quaker roots and his respect for the British Constitution, having lived in England for 3 years in the 1750s.<ref>Jack Rakove: The Patriot Who Refused to Sign the Declaration of Independence, http://www.historynet.com/the-patriot-who-refused-to-sign-the-declaration-of-independence.htm</ref> He was no wealthier than some members of the pro-Independence faction, and freed his slaves in 1777. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "his name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/04/jefferson.letter/index.html | work=CNN | title=Student finds letter 'a link to Jefferson' - CNN.com | accessdate=May 6, 2010 | date=December 8, 2009}}</ref>

The movie also misses the objection some had to the Declaration's stated basis in "rights of Man" based in "natural law" derived from a supernatural being. The Quaker-based population in the mid-Atlantic, represented by Dickinson, objected to this conception. Dickinson's objection to the Declaration had to do with this, as well as the fact he and his base preferred civil disobedience to war as the means, and a view that the colonies were too immature and the egalitarian mid-Atlantic culture would be overruled by the slavery of the South and the patriarchal Puritan attitudes of New England, represented by John Adams, in the foundation of the new country. The movie also omits the fact that Dickinson, after refusing to sign the Declaration, set about drafting the [[Articles of Confederation]], which he based on "rights of Person" with no reference to anything but law created by human beings and the only reference to "men" being in the context of mustering armies. This basis was then used when the Articles were converted to the Constitution but by then completely omitting the word "man" and only using the word "Person."

The musical also deviates from history in its portrayal of attitudes about slavery. In ''1776'', after a dramatic debate over slavery, the southern delegates walk out in protest of the Declaration's denunciation of the slave trade, and only support independence when that language was removed from the Declaration. The walkout is fictional, and apparently most delegates, northern and southern, supported the deletion of the clause.

The musical depicts [[Edward Rutledge]] as the leader of the opposition to an anti-slavery clause in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration. However, while we do know that, according to Jefferson, the clause was opposed by South Carolina and Georgia, plus unspecified "northern brethren";<ref>''The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia: a Comprehensive Collection of the Views of Thomas Jefferson'' (1900) by Thomas Jefferson, edited by John P. Foley, p. 246</ref> that is all that is known about opposition to the clause. Rutledge was a delegate from South Carolina, but there is no historical evidence that he played any part – much less a leadership role – in the opposition to the clause.<ref>Nothing is known of what Rutledge said or did during the Continental Congress, as the Congress was conducted in closed session and its members had made a pact of secrecy. No letters or memoirs have been found in which his participation is specified, and no record has been found as to what Rutledge did or did not say in regard to Jefferson's complaint about the King's freeing of slaves and veto of slave tariffs. See, e.g., ''Lives of the Presidents of the United States'' by Robert W. Lincoln (1836), p. 390; ''Sanderson's Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence'' (1846) by John Sanderson and Robert Taylor Conrad, p. 351; ''The United States Manual of Biography and History'' by James V. Marshall (1856), p. 115; ''An Outline of the Political and Social Life of George Washington'', Volume 2 (1895) by James Tyson, p. 339.</ref> The musical does acknowledge the complexity of the colonial attitudes toward slavery in the dramatic song "Molasses, to Rum, to Slaves", sung by the Rutledge character, which illustrates the hypocrisy in northern condemnations of slavery since northerners profited from the [[triangle trade]].

Thomas Jefferson is depicted in the musical as saying that he has resolved to free his slaves, something he did not do, except for a few slaves freed after his death 50 years later. The musical also depicts Franklin as claiming that he is the founder of the first abolitionist organization in the New World; the real Franklin did not become an abolitionist until after the American Revolution, becoming president of the [[Pennsylvania Abolition Society]] in 1785.<ref>Isaacson, Walter. ''Benjamin Franklin: An American Life'' (2003).</ref> It was actually Dickinson who freed his slaves in 1776, conditionally at first, and fully by 1787 when the Constitution was ratified.

In both the play and the film, John Adams sarcastically predicts that Benjamin Franklin will receive from posterity too great a share of credit for the Revolution. "Franklin smote the ground and out sprang—George Washington.. Fully grown, and on his horse. Franklin then electrified them with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them—Franklin, Washington, and the horse—conducted the entire Revolution all by themselves." Adams did make a similar comment about Franklin in April 1790, just after Franklin's death, although the mention of the horse was a humorous twist added by the authors of the musical.<ref name="Old Family Letters">'Old Family Letters', http://books.google.com/books?id=84oTAQAAMAAJ&dq=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&pg=PA55#v=onepage&q=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&f=false</ref>

==Critical reception==
[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' observed, "The music is resolutely unmemorable. The lyrics sound as if they'd been written by someone high on [[root beer]], and the book is familiar history — compressed here, stretched there — that has been gagged up and paced to Broadway's not inspiring standards. Yet Peter H. Hunt's screen version of ''1776'' ... insists on being so entertaining and, at times, even moving, that you might as well stop resisting it. This reaction, I suspect, represents a clear triumph of emotional associations over material ... [It] is far from being a landmark of musical cinema, but it is the first film in my memory that comes close to treating seriously a magnificent chapter in the American history."<ref>{{cite web|last=Canby |first=Vincent |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=980DE1D7113DEF34BC4852DFB7678389669EDE |title=''New York Times'' review |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=1972-11-10 |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it two stars and declared, "This is an insult to the real men who were Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest ... The performances trapped inside these roles, as you might expect, are fairly dreadful. There are good actors in the movie (especially William Daniels as Adams and Donald Madden as John Dickinson), but they're forced to strut and posture so much that you wonder if they ever scratched or spit or anything ... I can hardly bear to remember the songs, much less discuss them. Perhaps I shouldn't. It is just too damn bad this movie didn't take advantage of its right to the pursuit of happiness."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19721226/REVIEWS/212260301/1023 |title=''Chicago Sun-Times'' review |publisher=Rogerebert.suntimes.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

'''''1776''''' is a 1972 American [[musical film]] directed by [[Peter H. Hunt]]. The screenplay by [[Peter Stone]] was based on the 1969 stage musical ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]''. The song score was composed by [[Sherman Edwards]]. The cast included [[William Daniels]], [[Howard Da Silva]], [[John Cullum]], [[Ken Howard]] and [[Blythe Danner]].

Portions of the dialogue and some of the song lyrics were taken directly from the letters and memoirs of the actual participants of the [[Second Continental Congress]].

==Plot==
While General [[George Washington]] is conducting the struggle against the [[British Empire]] on the battlefield, the [[Continental Congress]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] piddles away its time over trivial matters and cannot begin debating the question of [[American Revolution|American independence]]. The leader of the independence faction is the abrasive [[John Adams]] of Massachusetts, whose continuous pushing of the issue has brought their cause to a complete standstill. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]] of Pennsylvania leads the opposition that hopes for reconciliation with England. During his quieter moments, Adams calls up the image of his wife [[Abigail Adams]] who resides in Massachusetts and gives him insight and encouragement. Dr. [[Benjamin Franklin]] of Pennsylvania suggests another colony that supports independence should submit a proposal.

[[Richard Henry Lee]] of Virginia is sent off to [[Williamsburg, Virginia]] to get authorization from the Virginia Colony to propose independence. Dr. [[Lyman Hall]] arrives to represent Georgia, and immediately, he is interrogated by his fellow delegates regarding his views on independence (with Dickinson framing it as "treason"). Weeks later, Lee returns with the [[Lee Resolution|resolution]], and debate on the question begins. The New Jersey delegation, led by Reverend [[John Witherspoon]] arrives just in time to provide a vote supporting independence. However, in the midst of debate, [[Caesar Rodney]] falters because of his cancer and is taken back to Delaware by fellow delegate [[Thomas McKean]], leaving the anti-independence [[George Read]] to represent Delaware.

After heated discussions, the question is called without a majority of positive votes present. In a move intended to defeat the resolution, Dickinson calls for a vote requiring unanimity for passage, and the vote ends in a tie between the colonies which is ultimately decided in favor of unanimity by [[John Hancock]], [[president of the Continental Congress]], who argues that any objecting colony would fight for England against independence. Stalling for time to rally support for the resolution, Adams and Franklin call again for a postponement, justifying their call by stating the need for a declaration describing their grievances. Once again tied and ultimately decided by Hancock, the vote is successfully postponed until such a document can be written.

Hancock appoints a committee that includes Adams, Franklin, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Robert Livingston of New York, and [[Thomas Jefferson]] (after Lee declined due to an appointment to serve as governor of Virginia). Jefferson resists participation because he desires to return home to Virginia to see his wife, [[Martha Jefferson|Martha]], but is left with the task when all other members of the committee present more compelling reasons to avoid the responsibility; the rest of the committee opine that Jefferson's diplomatic nature and superior writing skill are required to draft the declaration. When after a week Jefferson seems to have developed writer's block due to missing his wife, Adams sends for Martha: "It simply occurred to me that the sooner his problem was solved the sooner ours would be," and after actually meeting her both Adams and Franklin are quite taken with Martha. While maneuvering to get the required unanimity for the vote on independence, Adams, Franklin and [[Samuel Chase]] of Maryland visit the Colonial Army encamped in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]], at the request of General Washington, to help convince Maryland.

When they return to Philadelphia, the declaration is read and then subsequently debated and amended. Jefferson agrees to most alterations to the document, much to Adams' growing consternation. The debate reaches a head when the [[Southern United States|Southern]] delegates, led by [[Edward Rutledge]] of South Carolina, walk out of Congress when a clause opposing [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] is not removed. Adams remains adamant that the clause remain, but Franklin appeals to him to allow the passage to be removed so that they can first achieve the vote on independence and the formation of the nation and defer the fight on slavery to a later time. Adams defers the final decision on the passage to Jefferson, who agrees to its removal. After removing that clause, 11 colonies are in favor, but New York abstains (as it does for every vote, since the delegates were never given specific orders by the disorganized New York legislature).

The question is up to the Colony of Pennsylvania, whose delegation is polled at Franklin's request. Franklin votes for the declaration, but Dickinson votes against. The outcome is now in the hands of their fellow Pennsylvanian Judge [[James Wilson]]. Wilson has always followed Dickinson's lead, but in this case Wilson votes in favor of the declaration, securing its passage, so that he would not be remembered by history as the man who voted to prevent American independence. After receiving word of the destruction of his property from General Washington, [[Lewis Morris]] finally withdraws New York's abstention and agrees to sign the document. Finally, with the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] ready to be signed, each colony (including New York) affixes their signature to the Declaration, establishing the United States on July 4, 1776.

==Soundtrack==
An original motion picture [[soundtrack album]] was released in 1972 by [[Columbia Records]], on the vinyl [[LP album|LP]] format. It contained all the musical numbers listed above with the exception of "Cool, Cool Considerate Men" and "Compliments". This soundtrack also contains the edited versions of some of the musical numbers which were presented in full on the [[laserdisc]] and [[DVD]] releases. Although the Broadway cast recording was released on [[compact disc|CD]] in 1992, the movie soundtrack has not yet been.

==Production==
[[Jack L. Warner]] bought the screen rights to the musical for $1.25 million.

Many members of the original [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] cast, including [[William Daniels]], [[Ken Howard]], [[John Cullum]], and [[Howard Da Silva]], reprised their roles for the film. [[Ralston Hill]] and Charles Rule also repeated their roles from the Broadway production, marking their only appearances in feature film.

Exteriors were filmed at the Warner Ranch in Burbank, California, the former Columbia Pictures backlot, where they built an entire street of colonial Philadelphia. Most of the colonial sets were destroyed by a fire in the mid-1970s.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

The water fountain seen during the musical number "The Lees of Old Virginia," with [[Ben Franklin]], [[John Adams]], and [[Richard Henry Lee]], is best known to current television viewers as the fountain seen at the beginning of the TV show ''[[Friends]]''. This fountain still exists directly across the street from the ''[[Bewitched]]'' and ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'' houses.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

In its theatrical and original home video releases, the film was rated G; following the restoration of various parts cut by producer [[Jack Warner]], the [[DVD]] was rated PG.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The [[Laserdisc]] version, out of print, contains additional footage and background music not contained on the DVD release. The 168-minute version is considered director Peter Hunt's preferred version, hence its "[[director's cut]]" [[moniker]]. The film was the Christmas attraction at [[Radio City Music Hall]] in New York City.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

"Cool, Cool, Considerate Men" was cut from the film prior to its release and not included on the soundtrack recording nor on the first VHS tapes and laserdiscs. The footage, some of physically poor quality, was restored for the later laserdisc and DVD releases.

==Political changes==
According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', "The song 'Cool, Cool, Considerate Men' depicts Revolutionary War–era conservatives as power-hungry wheedlers focused on maintaining wealth."<ref name="cool" /> According to Jack L. Warner, the film's producer and a friend of, [[United States President|U.S. President]] [[Richard Nixon]], Nixon requested to have the song removed from the film. Nixon apparently saw the song as an insult to the conservatives of his time, it suggesting that the conservatives were the ones who were hindering American Independence as they danced a [[minuet]] singing the song that included the [[stanza]],
<blockquote><poem>Come ye cool, cool considerate set
We'll dance together to the same minuet
To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right.
</poem></blockquote>
To further complicate things as mentioned above, the song is anachronistic, because the terms "right" and "left" in politics were not coined until the [[French Revolution]].

Warner's attempt to comply with Nixon's demands had initially been rebuffed by director Hunt during production, only for the song to be removed in post-production while Hunt was on vacation. Warner also wanted the original negative of the song shredded, but the film's editor kept it in storage unaltered. It was only decades later that the song was restored to the film.<ref name="cool">[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/sep/07/entertainment/ca-42982 Heated Debate About 'Cool' Cut], [http://articles.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times Archives], September 07, 2001, Accessed 2009-05-30</ref>

Interestingly, when the show was about presented to Nixon at the [[White House]] in 1970, his staff pressed the producers to cut the song; their request was denied.<ref name="cool" />

==Historical accuracy==
According to ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'', historical "[i]naccuracies pervade ''1776'', though few are very troubling."<ref>Peter C. Rollins, ed., ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'' (Columbia University Press, 2004, ISBN 0-231-11222-X), p. 154.</ref> Because Congress was held in secrecy and there are no contemporary records on the debate over the Declaration of Independence, the authors of the play created the narrative based on later accounts and educated guesses, inventing scenes and dialogue as needed for storytelling purposes. Some of the dialogue was taken from words written, often years or even decades later, by the actual people involved, and rearranged for dramatic effect.<ref>Stone and Edwards, pp. 153–65, describing the play's historical basis and dramatic license.</ref>

The movie particularly distorts and omits the views of the mid-Atlantic Quaker population, represented by Dickinson. Although in the movie Dickinson is portrayed as loyalist, and John Adams is seen making the points of objection about the tax abuses of [[George III of the United Kingdom]], including regressive taxes and "taxation without representation, and all to fund wars and the King's lifestyle, not to benefit the people, it was Dickinson's [[Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania]] that had originally made these points. A supposed physical fight between Dickinson and Adams is portrayed, in which Dickinson calls Adams a "lawyer" as an epithet, which makes little sense since Dickinson was a lawyer himself.

Also, despite the movie's heavy focus on John Adams, John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, only [[Martha Jefferson]] and [[Abigail Adams]] and their marriages are depicted, despite Dickinson's wife, [[Mary Norris Dickinson]], being the only one of these spouses actually present in Philadelphia during the convention. (Franklin's common law wife, [[Deborah Read]], had died a year or so earlier.) Although the movie initially uses actual correspondence between Abigail Adams and John Adams as a basis for dialogue, it romanticizes her views in later scenes. The movie also fictionalizes the Martha Jefferson relationship in particular, depicting her as coming to the convention, when she had actually just suffered a miscarriage and was also dealing with complications of gestational diabetes and was invalid in Virginia. The omission of Mary Norris and Dickinson's marriage to her is also particularly distorting as Quaker marriages such as that of Dickinson and Norris were more egalitarian than those of some of the other founding cultures (including the patriarchal Puritan-style Adams marriage, to which Abigail Adams objects in her letters quoted in the movie) and were by definition not bound to gender stereotypes.

Another departure from history is that the separation from Great Britain was accomplished in two steps: the actual vote for independence came on July 2 with the approval of Lee's [[resolution of independence]]. The wording of the Declaration of Independence—the statement to the world as to the reasons necessitating the split—was then debated for three days before being approved on July 4. The vote for independence did not hinge on some passages being removed from the Declaration, as implied in the movie (and the play), since Congress had already voted in favor of independence before debating the Declaration. For the sake of drama, the play's authors combined the two events.<ref name="Book158">Stone and Edwards, p. 158.</ref> In addition, some historians believe that the Declaration was not signed on July 4, as shown in ''1776'', but was instead signed on August 2, 1776. Others point out that the final, official copy of the document was signed by the delegates not on a single date, but over several weeks and months, commencing in July but not being completed until as late as September. The authors of ''1776'' had the delegates sign the Declaration on July 4 for dramatic reasons.<ref name="Book158" />

The [[Liberty Bell]] in ''1776'' is shown being rung as the delegates were signing the Declaration on July 4, however, this was also for dramatic effect. The bell actually was not rung that day, but on July 8, when the Declaration was exhibited to the public.<ref>http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/liberty-bell-tolls-to-announce-declaration-of-independence?cmpid=Social_Facebook_TDIH_07082014_1</ref>

Many characters in ''1776'' differ from their historical counterparts. Central to the drama is the depiction of John Adams as "obnoxious and disliked". According to biographer [[David McCullough]], however, Adams was one of the most respected members of Congress in 1776. Adams's often-quoted description of himself in Congress as "obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular" is from a letter written forty-six years later in 1822,<ref>[http://personal.pitnet.net/primarysources/pickering.html Letter from Adams to [[Timothy Pickering]], 1822]. Adams also described himself as "obnoxious" in his [http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/cfm/doc.cfm?id=A1_24 ''Autobiography''], written in 1805.</ref> after his unpopular presidency had likely colored his view of the past. According to McCullough, no delegate described Adams as obnoxious in 1776.<ref>McCullough, David. ''[[John Adams (book)|John Adams]]'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001), pp. 119–20.</ref> Historian [[Garry Wills]] earlier made a similar argument, writing that "historians relay John Adams's memories without sufficient skepticism", and that it was Dickinson, not Adams, who was advocating an unpopular position in 1776.<ref>Wills, Garry. ''Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence'' (New York: Doubleday, 1978), pp. 349–50.</ref>

For practical and dramatic purposes, the work does not depict all of the more than 50 members of Congress who were present at the time. This version of John Adams is, in part, a [[composite character]], combining the real Adams with his cousin [[Samuel Adams]], who was in Congress at the time but is not depicted in the play.<ref name="Book162">Stone and Edwards, p. 162.</ref> Although the play depicts [[Caesar Rodney]] as an elderly man near death from skin cancer (which would eventually kill him), he was just 47 years old at the time and continued to be very active in the Revolution after signing the Declaration. He was not absent from the voting because of health, however the play is accurate in having him arrive "in the nick of time", having ridden eighty miles the night before (an event depicted on Delaware's 1999 [[State Quarter]]) unaided, instead of with the help of another delegate. Further, Richard Henry Lee announces that he is returning to Virginia to serve as governor. He was never governor; his cousin [[Henry Lee III|Henry Lee]] (who is anachronistically called "General 'Lighthorse' Harry Lee", a rank and nickname earned later) did eventually become governor and would also become the father of Confederate general [[Robert E. Lee]]. John Adams was also depicted in the play and the film as disliking Richard Henry Lee. That is not the case as, according to David McCullough, Adams expressed nothing but "respect and admiration for the tall, masterly Virginian." He did, however, contrary to what was portrayed in the play and the film, dislike Benjamin Franklin. Martha Jefferson never traveled to Philadelphia to be with her husband. In fact, she was extremely ill during the summer of 1776, having just endured a miscarriage. The play's authors invented the scene "to show something of the young Jefferson's life without destroying the [[Classical unities|unity of setting]]."<ref name="Book161">Stone and Edwards, p. 161.</ref> [[James Wilson]] was not the indecisive milquetoast depicted in the play and the movie. The real Wilson, who was not yet a judge in 1776, had been cautious about supporting independence at an earlier date, but he supported the resolution of independence when it came up for a vote. Pennsylvania's deciding swing vote was actually cast by [[John Morton (politician)|John Morton]], who is not depicted in the musical.<ref name="Book162" />

The quote attributed to [[Edmund Burke]] by Dr. Lyman Hall in a key scene with John Adams is a paraphrase of a real quote by Mr. Burke.<ref>"Your Representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." Edmund Burke, Select Works of Edmund Burke. A New Imprint of the Payne Edition. Foreword and Biographical Note by Francis Canavan (Indianapolis: :Liberty Fund, 1999). Vol. 4.

The song "Cool Considerate Men" is anachronistic, because, the terms [[Left–right politics#History of the terms|"right" and "left"]] in politics were not in use until the [[French Revolution]] of 1789. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]], who is portrayed as an antagonist here, was motivated mainly by his Quaker roots and his respect for the British Constitution, having lived in England for 3 years in the 1750s.<ref>Jack Rakove: The Patriot Who Refused to Sign the Declaration of Independence, http://www.historynet.com/the-patriot-who-refused-to-sign-the-declaration-of-independence.htm</ref> He was no wealthier than some members of the pro-Independence faction, and freed his slaves in 1777. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "his name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/04/jefferson.letter/index.html | work=CNN | title=Student finds letter 'a link to Jefferson' - CNN.com | accessdate=May 6, 2010 | date=December 8, 2009}}</ref>

The movie also misses the objection some had to the Declaration's stated basis in "rights of Man" based in "natural law" derived from a supernatural being. The Quaker-based population in the mid-Atlantic, represented by Dickinson, objected to this conception. Dickinson's objection to the Declaration had to do with this, as well as the fact he and his base preferred civil disobedience to war as the means, and a view that the colonies were too immature and the egalitarian mid-Atlantic culture would be overruled by the slavery of the South and the patriarchal Puritan attitudes of New England, represented by John Adams, in the foundation of the new country. The movie also omits the fact that Dickinson, after refusing to sign the Declaration, set about drafting the [[Articles of Confederation]], which he based on "rights of Person" with no reference to anything but law created by human beings and the only reference to "men" being in the context of mustering armies. This basis was then used when the Articles were converted to the Constitution but by then completely omitting the word "man" and only using the word "Person."

The musical also deviates from history in its portrayal of attitudes about slavery. In ''1776'', after a dramatic debate over slavery, the southern delegates walk out in protest of the Declaration's denunciation of the slave trade, and only support independence when that language was removed from the Declaration. The walkout is fictional, and apparently most delegates, northern and southern, supported the deletion of the clause.

The musical depicts [[Edward Rutledge]] as the leader of the opposition to an anti-slavery clause in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration. However, while we do know that, according to Jefferson, the clause was opposed by South Carolina and Georgia, plus unspecified "northern brethren";<ref>''The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia: a Comprehensive Collection of the Views of Thomas Jefferson'' (1900) by Thomas Jefferson, edited by John P. Foley, p. 246</ref> that is all that is known about opposition to the clause. Rutledge was a delegate from South Carolina, but there is no historical evidence that he played any part – much less a leadership role – in the opposition to the clause.<ref>Nothing is known of what Rutledge said or did during the Continental Congress, as the Congress was conducted in closed session and its members had made a pact of secrecy. No letters or memoirs have been found in which his participation is specified, and no record has been found as to what Rutledge did or did not say in regard to Jefferson's complaint about the King's freeing of slaves and veto of slave tariffs. See, e.g., ''Lives of the Presidents of the United States'' by Robert W. Lincoln (1836), p. 390; ''Sanderson's Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence'' (1846) by John Sanderson and Robert Taylor Conrad, p. 351; ''The United States Manual of Biography and History'' by James V. Marshall (1856), p. 115; ''An Outline of the Political and Social Life of George Washington'', Volume 2 (1895) by James Tyson, p. 339.</ref> The musical does acknowledge the complexity of the colonial attitudes toward slavery in the dramatic song "Molasses, to Rum, to Slaves", sung by the Rutledge character, which illustrates the hypocrisy in northern condemnations of slavery since northerners profited from the [[triangle trade]].

Thomas Jefferson is depicted in the musical as saying that he has resolved to free his slaves, something he did not do, except for a few slaves freed after his death 50 years later. The musical also depicts Franklin as claiming that he is the founder of the first abolitionist organization in the New World; the real Franklin did not become an abolitionist until after the American Revolution, becoming president of the [[Pennsylvania Abolition Society]] in 1785.<ref>Isaacson, Walter. ''Benjamin Franklin: An American Life'' (2003).</ref> It was actually Dickinson who freed his slaves in 1776, conditionally at first, and fully by 1787 when the Constitution was ratified.

In both the play and the film, John Adams sarcastically predicts that Benjamin Franklin will receive from posterity too great a share of credit for the Revolution. "Franklin smote the ground and out sprang—George Washington.. Fully grown, and on his horse. Franklin then electrified them with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them—Franklin, Washington, and the horse—conducted the entire Revolution all by themselves." Adams did make a similar comment about Franklin in April 1790, just after Franklin's death, although the mention of the horse was a humorous twist added by the authors of the musical.<ref name="Old Family Letters">'Old Family Letters', http://books.google.com/books?id=84oTAQAAMAAJ&dq=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&pg=PA55#v=onepage&q=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&f=false</ref>

==Critical reception==
[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' observed, "The music is resolutely unmemorable. The lyrics sound as if they'd been written by someone high on [[root beer]], and the book is familiar history — compressed here, stretched there — that has been gagged up and paced to Broadway's not inspiring standards. Yet Peter H. Hunt's screen version of ''1776'' ... insists on being so entertaining and, at times, even moving, that you might as well stop resisting it. This reaction, I suspect, represents a clear triumph of emotional associations over material ... [It] is far from being a landmark of musical cinema, but it is the first film in my memory that comes close to treating seriously a magnificent chapter in the American history."<ref>{{cite web|last=Canby |first=Vincent |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=980DE1D7113DEF34BC4852DFB7678389669EDE |title=''New York Times'' review |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=1972-11-10 |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it two stars and declared, "This is an insult to the real men who were Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest ... The performances trapped inside these roles, as you might expect, are fairly dreadful. There are good actors in the movie (especially William Daniels as Adams and Donald Madden as John Dickinson), but they're forced to strut and posture so much that you wonder if they ever scratched or spit or anything ... I can hardly bear to remember the songs, much less discuss them. Perhaps I shouldn't. It is just too damn bad this movie didn't take advantage of its right to the pursuit of happiness."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19721226/REVIEWS/212260301/1023 |title=''Chicago Sun-Times'' review |publisher=Rogerebert.suntimes.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

==Awards and nominations==
The film was nominated for the [[Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy]] but lost to ''[[Cabaret (1972 film)|Cabaret]]''. [[Harry Stradling Jr.]] was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography]] but lost to [[Geoffrey Unsworth]] for ''Cabaret''.

'''''1776''''' is a 1972 American [[musical film]] directed by [[Peter H. Hunt]]. The screenplay by [[Peter Stone]] was based on the 1969 stage musical ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]''. The song score was composed by [[Sherman Edwards]]. The cast included [[William Daniels]], [[Howard Da Silva]], [[John Cullum]], [[Ken Howard]] and [[Blythe Danner]].

Portions of the dialogue and some of the song lyrics were taken directly from the letters and memoirs of the actual participants of the [[Second Continental Congress]].

==Plot==
While General [[George Washington]] is conducting the struggle against the [[British Empire]] on the battlefield, the [[Continental Congress]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] piddles away its time over trivial matters and cannot begin debating the question of [[American Revolution|American independence]]. The leader of the independence faction is the abrasive [[John Adams]] of Massachusetts, whose continuous pushing of the issue has brought their cause to a complete standstill. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]] of Pennsylvania leads the opposition that hopes for reconciliation with England. During his quieter moments, Adams calls up the image of his wife [[Abigail Adams]] who resides in Massachusetts and gives him insight and encouragement. Dr. [[Benjamin Franklin]] of Pennsylvania suggests another colony that supports independence should submit a proposal.

[[Richard Henry Lee]] of Virginia is sent off to [[Williamsburg, Virginia]] to get authorization from the Virginia Colony to propose independence. Dr. [[Lyman Hall]] arrives to represent Georgia, and immediately, he is interrogated by his fellow delegates regarding his views on independence (with Dickinson framing it as "treason"). Weeks later, Lee returns with the [[Lee Resolution|resolution]], and debate on the question begins. The New Jersey delegation, led by Reverend [[John Witherspoon]] arrives just in time to provide a vote supporting independence. However, in the midst of debate, [[Caesar Rodney]] falters because of his cancer and is taken back to Delaware by fellow delegate [[Thomas McKean]], leaving the anti-independence [[George Read]] to represent Delaware.

After heated discussions, the question is called without a majority of positive votes present. In a move intended to defeat the resolution, Dickinson calls for a vote requiring unanimity for passage, and the vote ends in a tie between the colonies which is ultimately decided in favor of unanimity by [[John Hancock]], [[president of the Continental Congress]], who argues that any objecting colony would fight for England against independence. Stalling for time to rally support for the resolution, Adams and Franklin call again for a postponement, justifying their call by stating the need for a declaration describing their grievances. Once again tied and ultimately decided by Hancock, the vote is successfully postponed until such a document can be written.

Hancock appoints a committee that includes Adams, Franklin, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Robert Livingston of New York, and [[Thomas Jefferson]] (after Lee declined due to an appointment to serve as governor of Virginia). Jefferson resists participation because he desires to return home to Virginia to see his wife, [[Martha Jefferson|Martha]], but is left with the task when all other members of the committee present more compelling reasons to avoid the responsibility; the rest of the committee opine that Jefferson's diplomatic nature and superior writing skill are required to draft the declaration. When after a week Jefferson seems to have developed writer's block due to missing his wife, Adams sends for Martha: "It simply occurred to me that the sooner his problem was solved the sooner ours would be," and after actually meeting her both Adams and Franklin are quite taken with Martha. While maneuvering to get the required unanimity for the vote on independence, Adams, Franklin and [[Samuel Chase]] of Maryland visit the Colonial Army encamped in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]], at the request of General Washington, to help convince Maryland.

When they return to Philadelphia, the declaration is read and then subsequently debated and amended. Jefferson agrees to most alterations to the document, much to Adams' growing consternation. The debate reaches a head when the [[Southern United States|Southern]] delegates, led by [[Edward Rutledge]] of South Carolina, walk out of Congress when a clause opposing [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] is not removed. Adams remains adamant that the clause remain, but Franklin appeals to him to allow the passage to be removed so that they can first achieve the vote on independence and the formation of the nation and defer the fight on slavery to a later time. Adams defers the final decision on the passage to Jefferson, who agrees to its removal. After removing that clause, 11 colonies are in favor, but New York abstains (as it does for every vote, since the delegates were never given specific orders by the disorganized New York legislature).

The question is up to the Colony of Pennsylvania, whose delegation is polled at Franklin's request. Franklin votes for the declaration, but Dickinson votes against. The outcome is now in the hands of their fellow Pennsylvanian Judge [[James Wilson]]. Wilson has always followed Dickinson's lead, but in this case Wilson votes in favor of the declaration, securing its passage, so that he would not be remembered by history as the man who voted to prevent American independence. After receiving word of the destruction of his property from General Washington, [[Lewis Morris]] finally withdraws New York's abstention and agrees to sign the document. Finally, with the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] ready to be signed, each colony (including New York) affixes their signature to the Declaration, establishing the United States on July 4, 1776.

==Soundtrack==
An original motion picture [[soundtrack album]] was released in 1972 by [[Columbia Records]], on the vinyl [[LP album|LP]] format. It contained all the musical numbers listed above with the exception of "Cool, Cool Considerate Men" and "Compliments". This soundtrack also contains the edited versions of some of the musical numbers which were presented in full on the [[laserdisc]] and [[DVD]] releases. Although the Broadway cast recording was released on [[compact disc|CD]] in 1992, the movie soundtrack has not yet been.

==Production==
[[Jack L. Warner]] bought the screen rights to the musical for $1.25 million.

Many members of the original [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] cast, including [[William Daniels]], [[Ken Howard]], [[John Cullum]], and [[Howard Da Silva]], reprised their roles for the film. [[Ralston Hill]] and Charles Rule also repeated their roles from the Broadway production, marking their only appearances in feature film.

Exteriors were filmed at the Warner Ranch in Burbank, California, the former Columbia Pictures backlot, where they built an entire street of colonial Philadelphia. Most of the colonial sets were destroyed by a fire in the mid-1970s.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

The water fountain seen during the musical number "The Lees of Old Virginia," with [[Ben Franklin]], [[John Adams]], and [[Richard Henry Lee]], is best known to current television viewers as the fountain seen at the beginning of the TV show ''[[Friends]]''. This fountain still exists directly across the street from the ''[[Bewitched]]'' and ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]'' houses.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

In its theatrical and original home video releases, the film was rated G; following the restoration of various parts cut by producer [[Jack Warner]], the [[DVD]] was rated PG.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The [[Laserdisc]] version, out of print, contains additional footage and background music not contained on the DVD release. The 168-minute version is considered director Peter Hunt's preferred version, hence its "[[director's cut]]" [[moniker]]. The film was the Christmas attraction at [[Radio City Music Hall]] in New York City.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}

"Cool, Cool, Considerate Men" was cut from the film prior to its release and not included on the soundtrack recording nor on the first VHS tapes and laserdiscs. The footage, some of physically poor quality, was restored for the later laserdisc and DVD releases.

==Political changes==
According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', "The song 'Cool, Cool, Considerate Men' depicts Revolutionary War–era conservatives as power-hungry wheedlers focused on maintaining wealth."<ref name="cool" /> Jack L. Warner, the film's producer and a friend of, [[United States President|U.S. President]] [[Richard Nixon]], Nixon requested to have the song removed from the film. Nixon apparently saw the song as an insult to the conservatives of his time, it suggesting that the conservatives were the ones who were hindering American Independence as they danced a [[minuet]] singing the song that included the [[stanza]], <blockquote>Come ye cool, cool considerate set
We'll dance together to the same minuet
To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right.</blockquote> To further complicate things as mentioned above, the song is anachronistic, because the terms "right" and "left" in politics were not coined until the [[French Revolution]].

Warner's attempt to comply with Nixon's demands had initially been rebuffed by director Hunt during production, only for the song to be removed in post-production while Hunt was on vacation. Warner also wanted the original negative of the song shredded, but the film's editor kept it in storage unaltered. It was only decades later that the song was restored to the film.<ref name="cool">[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/sep/07/entertainment/ca-42982 Heated Debate About 'Cool' Cut], [http://articles.latimes.com/ Los Angeles Times Archives], September 07, 2001, Accessed 2009-05-30</ref>

Interestingly, when the show was about presented to Nixon at the [[White House]] in 1970, his staff pressed the producers to cut the song; their request was denied.<ref name="cool" />

==Historical accuracy==
According to ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'', historical "[i]naccuracies pervade ''1776'', though few are very troubling."<ref>Peter C. Rollins, ed., ''The Columbia Companion to American History on Film'' (Columbia University Press, 2004, ISBN 0-231-11222-X), p. 154.</ref> Because Congress was held in secrecy and there are no contemporary records on the debate over the Declaration of Independence, the authors of the play created the narrative based on later accounts and educated guesses, inventing scenes and dialogue as needed for storytelling purposes. Some of the dialogue was taken from words written, often years or even decades later, by the actual people involved, and rearranged for dramatic effect.<ref>Stone and Edwards, pp. 153–65, describing the play's historical basis and dramatic license.</ref>

The movie particularly distorts and omits the views of the mid-Atlantic Quaker population, represented by Dickinson. Although in the movie Dickinson is portrayed as loyalist, and John Adams is seen making the points of objection about the tax abuses of [[George III of the United Kingdom]], including regressive taxes and "taxation without representation, and all to fund wars and the King's lifestyle, not to benefit the people, it was Dickinson's [[Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania]] that had originally made these points. A supposed physical fight between Dickinson and Adams is portrayed, in which Dickinson calls Adams a "lawyer" as an epithet, which makes little sense since Dickinson was a lawyer himself.

Also, despite the movie's heavy focus on John Adams, John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, only [[Martha Jefferson]] and [[Abigail Adams]] and their marriages are depicted, despite Dickinson's wife, [[Mary Norris Dickinson]], being the only one of these spouses actually present in Philadelphia during the convention. (Franklin's common law wife, [[Deborah Read]], had died a year or so earlier.) Although the movie initially uses actual correspondence between Abigail Adams and John Adams as a basis for dialogue, it romanticizes her views in later scenes. The movie also fictionalizes the Martha Jefferson relationship in particular, depicting her as coming to the convention, when she had actually just suffered a miscarriage and was also dealing with complications of gestational diabetes and was invalid in Virginia. The omission of Mary Norris and Dickinson's marriage to her is also particularly distorting as Quaker marriages such as that of Dickinson and Norris were more egalitarian than those of some of the other founding cultures (including the patriarchal Puritan-style Adams marriage, to which Abigail Adams objects in her letters quoted in the movie) and were by definition not bound to gender stereotypes.

Another departure from history is that the separation from Great Britain was accomplished in two steps: the actual vote for independence came on July 2 with the approval of Lee's [[resolution of independence]]. The wording of the Declaration of Independence—the statement to the world as to the reasons necessitating the split—was then debated for three days before being approved on July 4. The vote for independence did not hinge on some passages being removed from the Declaration, as implied in the movie (and the play), since Congress had already voted in favor of independence before debating the Declaration. For the sake of drama, the play's authors combined the two events.<ref name="Book158">Stone and Edwards, p. 158.</ref> In addition, some historians believe that the Declaration was not signed on July 4, as shown in ''1776'', but was instead signed on August 2, 1776. Others point out that the final, official copy of the document was signed by the delegates not on a single date, but over several weeks and months, commencing in July but not being completed until as late as September. The authors of ''1776'' had the delegates sign the Declaration on July 4 for dramatic reasons.<ref name="Book158" />

The [[Liberty Bell]] in ''1776'' is shown being rung as the delegates were signing the Declaration on July 4, however, this was also for dramatic effect. The bell actually was not rung that day, but on July 8, when the Declaration was exhibited to the public.<ref>http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/liberty-bell-tolls-to-announce-declaration-of-independence?cmpid=Social_Facebook_TDIH_07082014_1</ref>

Many characters in ''1776'' differ from their historical counterparts. Central to the drama is the depiction of John Adams as "obnoxious and disliked". According to biographer [[David McCullough]], however, Adams was one of the most respected members of Congress in 1776. Adams's often-quoted description of himself in Congress as "obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular" is from a letter written forty-six years later in 1822,<ref>[http://personal.pitnet.net/primarysources/pickering.html Letter from Adams to [[Timothy Pickering]], 1822]. Adams also described himself as "obnoxious" in his [http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/cfm/doc.cfm?id=A1_24 ''Autobiography''], written in 1805.</ref> after his unpopular presidency had likely colored his view of the past. According to McCullough, no delegate described Adams as obnoxious in 1776.<ref>McCullough, David. ''[[John Adams (book)|John Adams]]'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001), pp. 119–20.</ref> Historian [[Garry Wills]] earlier made a similar argument, writing that "historians relay John Adams's memories without sufficient skepticism", and that it was Dickinson, not Adams, who was advocating an unpopular position in 1776.<ref>Wills, Garry. ''Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence'' (New York: Doubleday, 1978), pp. 349–50.</ref>

For practical and dramatic purposes, the work does not depict all of the more than 50 members of Congress who were present at the time. This version of John Adams is, in part, a [[composite character]], combining the real Adams with his cousin [[Samuel Adams]], who was in Congress at the time but is not depicted in the play.<ref name="Book162">Stone and Edwards, p. 162.</ref> Although the play depicts [[Caesar Rodney]] as an elderly man near death from skin cancer (which would eventually kill him), he was just 47 years old at the time and continued to be very active in the Revolution after signing the Declaration. He was not absent from the voting because of health, however the play is accurate in having him arrive "in the nick of time", having ridden eighty miles the night before (an event depicted on Delaware's 1999 [[State Quarter]]) unaided, instead of with the help of another delegate. Further, Richard Henry Lee announces that he is returning to Virginia to serve as governor. He was never governor; his cousin [[Henry Lee III|Henry Lee]] (who is anachronistically called "General 'Lighthorse' Harry Lee", a rank and nickname earned later) did eventually become governor and would also become the father of Confederate general [[Robert E. Lee]]. John Adams was also depicted in the play and the film as disliking Richard Henry Lee. That is not the case as, according to David McCullough, Adams expressed nothing but "respect and admiration for the tall, masterly Virginian." He did, however, contrary to what was portrayed in the play and the film, dislike Benjamin Franklin. Martha Jefferson never traveled to Philadelphia to be with her husband. In fact, she was extremely ill during the summer of 1776, having just endured a miscarriage. The play's authors invented the scene "to show something of the young Jefferson's life without destroying the [[Classical unities|unity of setting]]."<ref name="Book161">Stone and Edwards, p. 161.</ref> [[James Wilson]] was not the indecisive milquetoast depicted in the play and the movie. The real Wilson, who was not yet a judge in 1776, had been cautious about supporting independence at an earlier date, but he supported the resolution of independence when it came up for a vote. Pennsylvania's deciding swing vote was actually cast by [[John Morton (politician)|John Morton]], who is not depicted in the musical.<ref name="Book162" />

The quote attributed to [[Edmund Burke]] by Dr. Lyman Hall in a key scene with John Adams is a paraphrase of a real quote by Mr. Burke.<ref>"Your Representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." Edmund Burke, Select Works of Edmund Burke. A New Imprint of the Payne Edition. Foreword and Biographical Note by Francis Canavan (Indianapolis: :Liberty Fund, 1999). Vol. 4.

The song "Cool Considerate Men" is anachronistic, because, the terms [[Left–right politics#History of the terms|"right" and "left"]] in politics were not in use until the [[French Revolution]] of 1789. [[John Dickinson (politician)|John Dickinson]], who is portrayed as an antagonist here, was motivated mainly by his Quaker roots and his respect for the British Constitution, having lived in England for 3 years in the 1750s.<ref>Jack Rakove: The Patriot Who Refused to Sign the Declaration of Independence, http://www.historynet.com/the-patriot-who-refused-to-sign-the-declaration-of-independence.htm</ref> He was no wealthier than some members of the pro-Independence faction, and freed his slaves in 1777. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "his name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/04/jefferson.letter/index.html | work=CNN | title=Student finds letter 'a link to Jefferson' - CNN.com | accessdate=May 6, 2010 | date=December 8, 2009}}</ref>

The movie also misses the objection some had to the Declaration's stated basis in "rights of Man" based in "natural law" derived from a supernatural being. The Quaker-based population in the mid-Atlantic, represented by Dickinson, objected to this conception. Dickinson's objection to the Declaration had to do with this, as well as the fact he and his base preferred civil disobedience to war as the means, and a view that the colonies were too immature and the egalitarian mid-Atlantic culture would be overruled by the slavery of the South and the patriarchal Puritan attitudes of New England, represented by John Adams, in the foundation of the new country. The movie also omits the fact that Dickinson, after refusing to sign the Declaration, set about drafting the [[Articles of Confederation]], which he based on "rights of Person" with no reference to anything but law created by human beings and the only reference to "men" being in the context of mustering armies. This basis was then used when the Articles were converted to the Constitution but by then completely omitting the word "man" and only using the word "Person."

The musical also deviates from history in its portrayal of attitudes about slavery. In ''1776'', after a dramatic debate over slavery, the southern delegates walk out in protest of the Declaration's denunciation of the slave trade, and only support independence when that language was removed from the Declaration. The walkout is fictional, and apparently most delegates, northern and southern, supported the deletion of the clause.

The musical depicts [[Edward Rutledge]] as the leader of the opposition to an anti-slavery clause in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration. However, while we do know that, according to Jefferson, the clause was opposed by South Carolina and Georgia, plus unspecified "northern brethren";<ref>''The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia: a Comprehensive Collection of the Views of Thomas Jefferson'' (1900) by Thomas Jefferson, edited by John P. Foley, p. 246</ref> that is all that is known about opposition to the clause. Rutledge was a delegate from South Carolina, but there is no historical evidence that he played any part – much less a leadership role – in the opposition to the clause.<ref>Nothing is known of what Rutledge said or did during the Continental Congress, as the Congress was conducted in closed session and its members had made a pact of secrecy. No letters or memoirs have been found in which his participation is specified, and no record has been found as to what Rutledge did or did not say in regard to Jefferson's complaint about the King's freeing of slaves and veto of slave tariffs. See, e.g., ''Lives of the Presidents of the United States'' by Robert W. Lincoln (1836), p. 390; ''Sanderson's Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence'' (1846) by John Sanderson and Robert Taylor Conrad, p. 351; ''The United States Manual of Biography and History'' by James V. Marshall (1856), p. 115; ''An Outline of the Political and Social Life of George Washington'', Volume 2 (1895) by James Tyson, p. 339.</ref> The musical does acknowledge the complexity of the colonial attitudes toward slavery in the dramatic song "Molasses, to Rum, to Slaves", sung by the Rutledge character, which illustrates the hypocrisy in northern condemnations of slavery since northerners profited from the [[triangle trade]].

Thomas Jefferson is depicted in the musical as saying that he has resolved to free his slaves, something he did not do, except for a few slaves freed after his death 50 years later. The musical also depicts Franklin as claiming that he is the founder of the first abolitionist organization in the New World; the real Franklin did not become an abolitionist until after the American Revolution, becoming president of the [[Pennsylvania Abolition Society]] in 1785.<ref>Isaacson, Walter. ''Benjamin Franklin: An American Life'' (2003).</ref> It was actually Dickinson who freed his slaves in 1776, conditionally at first, and fully by 1787 when the Constitution was ratified.

In both the play and the film, John Adams sarcastically predicts that Benjamin Franklin will receive from posterity too great a share of credit for the Revolution. "Franklin smote the ground and out sprang—George Washington.. Fully grown, and on his horse. Franklin then electrified them with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them—Franklin, Washington, and the horse—conducted the entire Revolution all by themselves." Adams did make a similar comment about Franklin in April 1790, just after Franklin's death, although the mention of the horse was a humorous twist added by the authors of the musical.<ref name="Old Family Letters">'Old Family Letters', http://books.google.com/books?id=84oTAQAAMAAJ&dq=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&pg=PA55#v=onepage&q=old%20family%20letters%20john%20adams%2055&f=false</ref>

==Critical reception==
[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' observed, "The music is resolutely unmemorable. The lyrics sound as if they'd been written by someone high on [[root beer]], and the book is familiar history — compressed here, stretched there — that has been gagged up and paced to Broadway's not inspiring standards. Yet Peter H. Hunt's screen version of ''1776'' ... insists on being so entertaining and, at times, even moving, that you might as well stop resisting it. This reaction, I suspect, represents a clear triumph of emotional associations over material ... [It] is far from being a landmark of musical cinema, but it is the first film in my memory that comes close to treating seriously a magnificent chapter in the American history."<ref>{{cite web|last=Canby |first=Vincent |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=980DE1D7113DEF34BC4852DFB7678389669EDE |title=''New York Times'' review |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=1972-11-10 |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it two stars and declared, "This is an insult to the real men who were Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest ... The performances trapped inside these roles, as you might expect, are fairly dreadful. There are good actors in the movie (especially William Daniels as Adams and Donald Madden as John Dickinson), but they're forced to strut and posture so much that you wonder if they ever scratched or spit or anything ... I can hardly bear to remember the songs, much less discuss them. Perhaps I shouldn't. It is just too damn bad this movie didn't take advantage of its right to the pursuit of happiness."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19721226/REVIEWS/212260301/1023 |title=''Chicago Sun-Times'' review |publisher=Rogerebert.suntimes.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-07}}</ref>

==Awards and nominations==
The film was nominated for the [[Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy]] but lost to ''[[Cabaret (1972 film)|Cabaret]]''. [[Harry Stradling Jr.]] was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography]] but lost to [[Geoffrey Unsworth]] for ''Cabaret''.

==Home media releases==
Released on videocassette and laserdisc in the 1980s, the movie was released on [[DVD]] in 2002. This DVD version was released as the "Restored Director's Cut" and contains clips that were unreleased and unavailable in videocassette versions, most notably the "Cool, Cool Considerate Men" musical number and accompanying dialogue. Although out of print, the laserdisc contains an additional twenty-four minutes of material which is not available on the DVD. The movie has not been released on [[blu-ray]].

'''''The Gunman''''' is an upcoming [[thriller (genre)|thriller]] film directed by [[Pierre Morel]] and written by [[Don Macpherson]] and [[Pete Travis]], based on the [[novel]] ''The Prone Gunman'' by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].

The organization he works for has other plans in mind, and he is forced to go on the run across [[Europe]].<ref>http://www.movieinsider.com/m10983/the-gunman/</ref>

==Production==

===Development===
In January 2013, French action director [[Pierre Morel]] was in negotiations to direct [[Sean Penn]] in Prone Gunman, the action thriller being produced by [[Silver Pictures]]’ [[Joel Silver]] and Andrew Rona. The film is based on the 2002 novel ‘The Prone Gunman’ by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].<ref>http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2013/06/16/ray-winstone-to-train-the-gunman/</ref> The movie is serving as [[Sean Penn]]’s entre into the action franchise game, so it’s fitting that he would work with Morel, who launched the reinvention of actor [[Liam Neeson]] as an action star with [[Taken (film)]]. The project from [[Silver Pictures]] is fully financing [[StudioCanal]] who sold out in [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]]. Pierre Morel is directing the action film, which previously went by the title Prone Gunman. Footage from that film was screened for buyers in [[Cannes]], which Studiocanal says helped fuel sales about the film. Morel was also in town to enthuse buyers. Studiocanal closed deals thas week in such territories as Scandinavia, Switzerland, China, Russia, Latin America, Benelux, Poland, the Middle East, Greece and Italy, where Rai acquired the pic in what is a rare direct buy for the company. Studiocanal is releasing in France, Germany, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. U.S. studios and indies are circling. I’m told the film is not part of Silver’s deal with [[Universal Studios|Universal]]. “Our distributors were very impressed with the footage on Non-Stop and as a consequence we will do better on The Gunman internationally,” says Studiocanal sales EVP Harold van Lier. “They all see this as a potential franchise backed by the strongest possible creative team and a great story and character.”<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-raft-of-buyers-target-studiocanals-sean-penn-starrer-the-gunman/</ref>

In May 2013 [[Deadline (magazine)|Deadline]] said that [[Javier Bardem]] probably play the villain and he will work "go mano a mano with" [[Sean Penn]].<ref name="deadline" /> In June Deadline said that [[Ray Winstone]] has just joined the film. He’ll play the mentor of the hitman played by [[Sean Penn]], who is betrayed and then hunted by the organization he worked for. On the opposite side of this twosome are [[Javier Bardem]] and [[Idris Elba]], and they run all over Europe in a fatal game of cat and mouse. [[Jasmine Trinca]] is the female lead<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/ray-winstone-has-sean-penns-back-in-the-gunman/</ref> Bardem will play Trinca’s husband, and Elba will play a mysterious, ruthless operative named Dupont.<ref>http://www.slashfilm.com/idris-elba-joins-sean-penn-and-javier-bardem-in-pierre-morels-gunman/</ref><ref>http://www.flicksandbits.com/2013/06/14/idris-elba-set-to-join-sean-penn-javier-bardem-in-gunman/50030/</ref> On May 8, 2014 [[Open Road Films]] acquired the US distribution rights to the film.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fleming Jr|first=Mike|title=Open Road Acquiring StudioCanal’s ‘The Gunman’ With Sean Penn, Javier Bardem, Idris Elba And Ray Winstone|url=http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/cannes-open-road-acquiring-studiocanals-the-gunman-with-sean-penn-javier-bardem-idris-elba-and-ray-winstone/|accessdate=9 May 2014|newspaper=deadline.com|date=8 May 2014}}</ref>

===Development===
Plans for the fourth film of the ''Mad Max'' series hit financial difficulties and the project spent around 25 years in "[[development hell]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/02/mad-max-fury-road-might-be-great |title=Mad Max: Fury Road Might Be Great |publisher=IGN |date=2013-10-02 |accessdate=2013-11-21}}</ref> [[George Miller (filmmaker)|George Miller]] announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.<ref>Source: ''Metro'', Toronto, Canada.

'''''The Gunman''''' is an upcoming [[thriller (genre)|thriller]] film directed by [[Pierre Morel]] and written by [[Don Macpherson]] and [[Pete Travis]], based on the [[novel]] ''The Prone Gunman'' by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].

==Plot==

==Production==

===Development===
In January 2013, French action director [[Pierre Morel]] was in negotiations to direct [[Sean Penn]] in Prone Gunman, the action thriller being produced by [[Silver Pictures]]’ [[Joel Silver]] and Andrew Rona. The film is based on the 2002 novel ‘The Prone Gunman’ by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].<ref>http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2013/06/16/ray-winstone-to-train-the-gunman/</ref> The movie is serving as [[Sean Penn]]’s entre into the action franchise game, so it’s fitting that he would work with Morel, who launched the reinvention of actor [[Liam Neeson]] as an action star with [[Taken (film)]]. The project from [[Silver Pictures]] is fully financing [[StudioCanal]] who sold out in [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]]. Pierre Morel is directing the action film, which previously went by the title Prone Gunman. Footage from that film was screened for buyers in [[Cannes]], which Studiocanal says helped fuel sales about the film. Morel was also in town to enthuse buyers. Studiocanal closed deals thas week in such territories as Scandinavia, Switzerland, China, Russia, Latin America, Benelux, Poland, the Middle East, Greece and Italy, where Rai acquired the pic in what is a rare direct buy for the company. Studiocanal is releasing in France, Germany, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. U.S. studios and indies are circling. I’m told the film is not part of Silver’s deal with Universal.“Our distributors were very impressed with the footage on Non-Stop and as a consequence we will do better on The Gunman internationally,” says Studiocanal sales EVP Harold van Lier. “They all see this as a potential franchise backed by the strongest possible creative team and a great story and character.”<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-raft-of-buyers-target-studiocanals-sean-penn-starrer-the-gunman/</ref>

In May 2013 [[Deadline (magazine)|Deadline]] said that [[Javier Bardem]] probably play the villain and he will work "go mano a mano with" [[Sean Penn]].<ref name="deadline" /> In June Deadline said that [[Ray Winstone]] has just joined the film. He’ll play the mentor of the hitman played by [[Sean Penn]], who is betrayed and then hunted by the organization he worked for. On the opposite side of this twosome are [[Javier Bardem]] and [[Idris Elba]], and they run all over Europe in a fatal game of cat and mouse. [[Jasmine Trinca]] is the female lead<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/ray-winstone-has-sean-penns-back-in-the-gunman/</ref> Bardem will play Trinca’s husband, and Elba will play a mysterious, ruthless operative named Dupont.<ref>http://www.slashfilm.com/idris-elba-joins-sean-penn-and-javier-bardem-in-pierre-morels-gunman/</ref><ref>http://www.flicksandbits.com/2013/06/14/idris-elba-set-to-join-sean-penn-javier-bardem-in-gunman/50030/</ref>

== Production ==

=== Development ===
On April 4, 2013, [[Justin Lin]], the franchise's director since ''[[The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift]]'' (2006), announced that he would not return to direct a ''Fast & Furious 7'', as the studio wanted to produce the film on an accelerated schedule for release in summer 2014 which would have required Lin to begin pre-production on the sequel while performing post-production on ''Fast & Furious 6'' which he considered would affect the quality of the final product. Despite the usual two to three year gap between the previous installments, Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios.<ref name="Sequel1"/> However, subsequent interviews with Lin have suggested that the sixth installment was always intended to be the final entry directed by him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview: Fast & Furious 6 Director Justin Lin|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=104306|work=''Comingsoon.net''|accessdate=October 29, 2013|date=May 16, 2013}}</ref> In April 2013, [[James Wan]], predominantly known for horror films, was announced as the sequel's director, with Moritz returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script, his fifth in the series.

==Production==

===Development===
In January 2013, French action director [[Pierre Morel]] was in negotiations to direct [[Sean Penn]] in Prone Gunman, the action thriller being produced by [[Silver Pictures]]’ [[Joel Silver]] and Andrew Rona. The film is based on the 2002 novel ‘The Prone Gunman’ by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].<ref>http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2013/06/16/ray-winstone-to-train-the-gunman/</ref> The movie is serving as [[Sean Penn]]’s entre into the action franchise game, so it’s fitting that he would work with Morel, who launched the reinvention of actor [[Liam Neeson]] as an action star with [[Taken (film)]]. The project from [[Silver Pictures]] is fully financing [[StudioCanal]] who sold out in [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]]. Pierre Morel is directing the action film, which previously went by the title Prone Gunman. Footage from that film was screened for buyers in [[Cannes]], which Studiocanal says helped fuel sales about the film. Morel was also in town to enthuse buyers. Studiocanal closed deals thas week in such territories as Scandinavia, Switzerland, China, Russia, Latin America, Benelux, Poland, the Middle East, Greece and Italy, where Rai acquired the pic in what is a rare direct buy for the company. Studiocanal is releasing in France, Germany, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. U.S. studios and indies are circling. I’m told the film is not part of Silver’s deal with Universal.“Our distributors were very impressed with the footage on Non-Stop and as a consequence we will do better on The Gunman internationally,” says Studiocanal sales EVP Harold van Lier. “They all see this as a potential franchise backed by the strongest possible creative team and a great story and character.”<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-raft-of-buyers-target-studiocanals-sean-penn-starrer-the-gunman/</ref>

In May 2013 [[Deadline (magazine)|Deadline]] said that [[Javier Bardem]] probably play the villain and he will work "go mano a mano with" [[Sean Penn]].<ref name="deadline" /> In June Deadline said that [[Ray Winstone]] has just joined the film. He’ll play the mentor of the hitman played by [[Sean Penn]], who is betrayed and then hunted by the organization he worked for. On the opposite side of this twosome are [[Javier Bardem]] and [[Idris Elba]], and they run all over Europe in a fatal game of cat and mouse. [[Jasmine Trinca]] is the female lead<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/ray-winstone-has-sean-penns-back-in-the-gunman/</ref> Bardem will play Trinca’s husband, and Elba will play a mysterious, ruthless operative named Dupont.<ref>http://www.slashfilm.com/idris-elba-joins-sean-penn-and-javier-bardem-in-pierre-morels-gunman/</ref><ref>http://www.flicksandbits.com/2013/06/14/idris-elba-set-to-join-sean-penn-javier-bardem-in-gunman/50030/</ref>

===Filming===
The film will start shot at a spring 2013 production start in several locales across [[Europe]].<ref>http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/taken-director-helm-sean-penn-416134</ref>

The film is based on the 2002 novel ‘The Prone Gunman’ by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].<ref>http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2013/06/16/ray-winstone-to-train-the-gunman/</ref> The movie is serving as [[Sean Penn]]’s entre into the action franchise game, so it’s fitting that he would work with Morel, who launched the reinvention of actor [[Liam Neeson]] as an action star with [[Taken (film)]]. The project from [[Silver Pictures]] is fully financing [[StudioCanal]] who sold out in [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]]. Pierre Morel is directing the action film, which previously went by the title Prone Gunman. Footage from that film was screened for buyers in [[Cannes]], which Studiocanal says helped fuel sales about the film. Morel was also in town to enthuse buyers. Studiocanal closed deals thas week in such territories as Scandinavia, Switzerland, China, Russia, Latin America, Benelux, Poland, the Middle East, Greece and Italy, where Rai acquired the pic in what is a rare direct buy for the company. Studiocanal is releasing in France, Germany, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. U.S. studios and indies are circling. I’m told the film is not part of Silver’s deal with Universal.“Our distributors were very impressed with the footage on Non-Stop and as a consequence we will do better on The Gunman internationally,” says Studiocanal sales EVP Harold van Lier. “They all see this as a potential franchise backed by the strongest possible creative team and a great story and character.”<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-raft-of-buyers-target-studiocanals-sean-penn-starrer-the-gunman/</ref>

In May 2013 [[Deadline (magazine)|Deadline]] said that [[Javier Bardem]] probably play the villain and he will work "go mano a mano with" [[Sean Penn]].<ref name="deadline" /> In June Deadline said that [[Ray Winstone]] has just joined the film. He’ll play the mentor of the hitman played by [[Sean Penn]], who is betrayed and then hunted by the organization he worked for. On the opposite side of this twosome are [[Javier Bardem]] and [[Idris Elba]], and they run all over Europe in a fatal game of cat and mouse. [[Jasmine Trinca]] is the female lead<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/ray-winstone-has-sean-penns-back-in-the-gunman/</ref> Bardem will play Trinca’s husband, and Elba will play a mysterious, ruthless operative named Dupont.<ref>http://www.slashfilm.com/idris-elba-joins-sean-penn-and-javier-bardem-in-pierre-morels-gunman/</ref><ref>http://www.flicksandbits.com/2013/06/14/idris-elba-set-to-join-sean-penn-javier-bardem-in-gunman/50030/</ref>

===Filming===
The film will start shot at a spring 2013 production start in several locales across [[Europe]].<ref>http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/taken-director-helm-sean-penn-416134</ref>

'''''The Pebble and the Penguin''''' is a 1995 [[Animation|animated]] musical family comedy film, based on the true life [[mating]] rituals of the [[Adelie Penguins]] in [[Antarctica]], produced and directed by [[Don Bluth]] and [[Gary Goldman]]. The film was released to theatres on April 11, 1995 by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] in the United States and internationally by [[Warner Bros. Family Entertainment]].

==Plot==
Hubie ([[Martin Short]]) a shy, gullible but kindhearted penguin, is in love with the beautiful and kind Marina ([[Annie Golden]]), but lacks self-confidence leading him to be bullied by the much more impressive, but vain and cruel Drake ([[Tim Curry]]), who also wants Marina, but clearly for [[lust]]. One night, Hubie and Marina manage to confirm how they feel for each other, but Hubie can't quite find a perfect pebble to propose to Marina with. He wishes on a star to make his dream come true and he receives an [[Emerald]] from the sky. Ecstatic, Hubie rushes to find Marina but is stopped by Drake, who demands Hubie to give him the pebble. Hubie refuses, so Drake throws him into the water. Hubie narrowly escapes a [[leopard seal]] and climbs on to a piece of ice where he is swept away from Antarctica.

Hubie is picked up by humans and caged on their ship, which is transporting penguins to a [[zoo]] and meets a tough, grumpy, streetwise and somewhat arrogant but good-hearted [[rockhopper penguin]] named Rocko ([[James Belushi]]). After seeing in a vision Marina having a dilemma, Hubie decides to escape. Together, he and Rocko flee, and while lying low on a beach. Rocko reluctantly tells Hubie about his desire to fly. He convinces him to help him return to Antarctica by making up a lie about a flying penguin named Waldo. They have a short fight after Rocko tries to fly off "an authentic, ancient [[Birds|aviarial]] [[airstrip]]" and another after Rocko saved Hubie from a [[killer whale]]. Back in Antarctica, Drake begins to threaten Marina for her hand in mating. If Marina refuses, she will be forced to leave, as it goes against tradition. Hubie and Rocko attempt to depart, but Rocko discovers Hubie lied to him and attempts to attack Hubie, but soon starts laughing, praising Hubie's determination to get back to Marina. Back in Antarctica, Marina becomes worried about Hubie. Hubie and Rocko run into the hungry and persistent leopard seal but are able to escape it. With that Rocko and Hubie become true friends (though it takes prodding from Hubie for Rocko to admit it). Their joy is short lived as killer whales attack them causing Hubie's emerald to get lost and Rocko to go missing, leaving Hubie to think he perished.

Hubie continues on to face Drake. Thanks to Rocko's teachings on fighting, Hubie beats Drake in a fight. Then Rocko comes back, revealing he had survived the whale encounter (and found the emerald Hubie lost in the scuffle). As Hubie makes a proposal to Marina and gains her acceptance, Drake returns to finish the two off. With Rocko's help, Hubie and Marina dodge Drake's giant boulder while Drake himself is crushed by his own tower. During the rescue, Rocko's dream for flight comes true. Rocko gives Hubie his emerald. He presents it to Marina, who loves it. Some time later Rocko teaches Marina and Hubie's children to fly.

Though Bluth Productions was based in Dublin, artists from Ireland, England and Hungary worked on the project, at least seven directing animators working on the film; among them [[John Pomeroy]].<ref name="sfgate1"/> The penguins in the film are clothed. Humans wearing penguin costumes were filmed, and then used as photostat references for the animators.<ref name="google2"/> Only two scenes in the film were "augmented by computer animation", one of which being "The Good Ship Misery" song sequence.<ref name="google7027"/> The opening credit and overture sequence has the animated penguin characters playing and dancing on the sheet music for the songs in the film.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114108/trivia?tab=cz&ref_=tt_trv_cc</ref> According to The Free Lance-Star, the animators researched for the film by "watching documentaries and visiting zoos, such as San Diego's Sea World and Scotland's Glasgow Zoo". The site added that in promotional material, the animators explained they "discovered that the land of snow and ice shines with many different hues".<ref name="google7027"/>

===Music===
{{main|The Pebble and the Penguin (soundtrack)}}

The songs were written by [[Barry Manilow]], who previously wrote the songs for ''[[Thumbelina (1994 film)|Thumbelina]]'', along with long-time collaborator and lyricist Bruce Sussman.<ref name="google7027">http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=oegyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wgcGAAAAIBAJ&pg=7027,2759549&dq=the-pebble-and-the-penguin&hl=en</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114108/soundtrack |title= Pebble and the Penguin soundtrack |publisher=[[IMDB]] |accessdate=September 12, 2008}}</ref> The film's score was composed by [[Mark Watters]].

===Production problems===
Due to changes insisted by MGM, animation fell behind and additional colouring had to be done at a Hungarian animation studio. Don Bluth and Gary Goldman were so dissatisfied with the final film that they left during production (to help set up [[Fox Animation Studios]]) and demanded to be uncredited as the directors.<ref>[http://www.animationhq.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=560&pid=1979&mode=threaded&show=&st=&#entry1979 ]{{dead link|date=October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com/?id=JVeK2elZxTcC&pg=PA28&dq=%22The+Pebble+and+the+Penguin%22#v=onepage&q=%22The%20Pebble%20and%20the%20Penguin%22&f=false |title=The A to Z of Animation and Cartoons - Nichola Dobson - Google Books |publisher=Books.google.com.au |date= 2010-04-01|accessdate=2013-10-19|isbn=9781461664024}}</ref> The book ''Animated Films'' said "changes at MGM during production...resulted in the project being affected in terms of production value".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com/?id=B090Ndx1o6cC&pg=PT131&dq=%22The+Pebble+and+the+Penguin%22#v=onepage&q=%22The%20Pebble%20and%20the%20Penguin%22&f=false |title=Animated Films - Virgin Film - James Clarke - Google Books |publisher=Books.google.com.au |date=2012-09-30 |accessdate=2013-10-19|isbn=9781448132812}}</ref> In a 2001 edition of his magazine ''Toon Talk'', Bluth admitted "''Penguin'' had story problems. We knew it. The crew knew it". Though he attempted to fix these issues, when his Irish studio got taken over by the Hong Kong company Media Assets, "the story and film were now compromised", so neither he or Goldman stayed. They had their named removed from the film's credits and accepted an offer by Bill Mechanic - 20th Century Fox's then-president - to set up a new animation studio in the US (which would become [[Fox Animation Studios]]). Bluth said to his animation crew "I can't chew with someone else's mouth".<ref name="google2"/> Despite this executive interference, ''The Animated Movie Guide'' noted MGM/UA producer Walter Mirisch's comments on the film: "I think it's one of Don's best films ever...There's no issue of our claiming the credit for this. It's '''his''' film".<ref name="google2"/>

There are a few animation errors that were probably a result of this. The dubbing for a set of male and female penguins is swapped during the line "Welcome Hubie! Although Welcome probably isn't the appropriate word." Also, during "Sometimes I Wonder," there are several instances in which the animators did not complete drawing Hubie from the waist down. This is clearly visible in several shots in the bottom of the frame.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114108/trivia?tab=gf&ref_=tt_trv_gf</ref>

===Critical reception===

{{Quote box
|quote = One of animator Don Bluth's lesser efforts, The Pebble and the Penguin is cute but little more. The primary culprit is the script; aside from the unusual setting and small parcels of information about Emperor penguins, is hackneyed and uninvolving. The decision to focus on the relationship between Hubie and Rocko (while relegating the leading female character to nothing more than a trite damsel-in-distress role) is unfortunate, as the writers bring nothing new to the "buddy" concept and their attempts at humorous dialogue for the pair are often painful. With the exception of a song that pays homage to Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, the Barry Manilow-Bruce Sussman songs are even worse. Bluth is incapable of creating bad animation, and there are several sequences (especially those taking place underwater) that have moments of beauty; overall, however, the animation doesn't have enough sparkle to breathe life into the movie. The cast is certainly not at fault, with Martin Short doing everything short of bursting through the screen to hold the viewer's attention, Tim Drake turning in a reliably sinister performance, and Annie Golden lending her powerful and unique belt to the little she is given to sing. Penguin is not totally without charm -- but the amount it has could almost be fit into a pebble.

====Positive====
Some critics did praise various aspects of the film however, particularly in regard to Bluth's animation. These reviews, however, were almost exclusively mixed.
CommonSenseMedia said "the background animation of capricious weather conditions is lovely, as are the top-notch original songs by Barry Manilow and Mark Watters".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-pebble-and-the-penguin |title=The Pebble and the Penguin - Movie Review |publisher=Commonsensemedia.org |date=2007-12-03 |accessdate=2013-10-19}}</ref> Deseret News said "Bluth's strength continues to be colorful, classical-style animation, and there are some gorgeous moments here — especially some underwater sequences".<ref name="deseretnews1"/> The Austin Chronicle said: "The Pebble and the Penguin features some beautifully animated sequences [...] The characters are great and the voice talents of Martin Short...and James Belushi...are terrific".<ref name="austinchronicle1995"/> Variety said the film has a "heartwarming story, some lively songs and professional animation", adding that it is "a sweet, enjoyable romantic tale more likely to succeed as an afternoon diversion on homevideo than on the bigscreen".<ref>{{cite web|author=Leonard Klady |url=http://variety.com/1995/film/reviews/the-pebble-and-the-penguin-1200441434/ |title=The Pebble and the Penguin |publisher=Variety |date=1995-04-10 |accessdate=2013-10-19}}</ref> The New York Times wrote "The tunes Mr. Manilow has written for the movie are, like his familiar pop standards, bouncy and catchy", and commented that "the animation is fine".<ref name="nytimes1"/> Washington Post Staff Writer Hal Hinson wrote that "A flourishing opening number—titled 'Here and Now'—proves that Short can belt out a song with the best of them", adding that the "Bluth studio style of animation is passable, and, in the case of a Brecht-Weill flavored production number, occasionally inspired.".<ref name="washingtonpost1"/> SFGate described the "show-tune- style songs" as "pleasant but forgettable", adding that "the singing by Short, Belushi, Curry and Broadway belter Golden is the best thing about the film". It also noted that "One of the obvious obstacles was how to color a film whose natural shadings tend toward black, white and degrees of gray.

'''''Heaven Is for Real''''' is an upcoming American [[Christian]] [[drama film]] directed by [[Randall Wallace]] and written by Chris Parker, based on a 2010 story book, ''[[Heaven is for Real]]'' by Pastor Todd Burpo and [[Lynn Vincent]]. The film stars [[Greg Kinnear]], [[Kelly Reilly]], [[Jacob Vargas]] and [[Nancy Sorel]].<ref name="cr" />

== Cast ==
* [[Greg Kinnear]] as Todd Burpo, a small-town pastor in Nebraska<ref name="Greg" />
* [[Kelly Reilly]] as Sonja, Burpo's wife<ref name="Kelly" />
* [[Connor Corum]] as Colton<ref name="cr" />
* [[Thomas Haden Church]] as Jay Olson<ref name="cr" />
* [[Jacob Vargas]] as Michael
* [[Nancy Sorel]] as Dr. Slater
* [[Lane Styles]] as Cassie, Burpo's daughter

== Overview ==

Heaven Is for Real is the story of a four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who experienced Heaven during emergency surgery. He talked about looking down to see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear. In Heaven, Colton met his miscarried sister whom no one ever had told him about and his great-grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born. He shared impossible-to-know details about each. Colton went on to describe the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.
Told by Colton’s father often in Colton’s own words, but there are people who will not believe Colton or his family, the disarmingly simple message is that heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and to be ready … there is a coming last battle.
