• 36 years later it all comes together!
  I saw this film multiple times in the movies at 4 years of age with my parents and listened to the record also. Twenty years later when purchasing the VHS, I noted that "Cool Considerate Men" wasn't there even though I remembered the song from the record. My father told me then that the song was in the play on Broadway, (which he saw with my mom), but was never in the film.

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

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

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