As with the PBS series Liberty!, this documentary uses actors donning costumes and delivering dialogue from actual letters. You will never find a more lively performance than by Richard Easton as Franklin. He will make you believe he really is BJ; there should be some kind of award for this performance because you will not find better acting in any current television show (or film) than by this master of the art.

I fell on this by accident, and loved it. I was in a real history mode about 2 years ago, and grabbed this. I really can't remember why, but I have to admit out of all the documentaries from the channels that sell life insurance this is my favorite.
Its informative, accurate, and if watched on your laptop/desktop - you may want to investigate the background materials online that are discussed (or acted).
The acting is good. Richard Easton is a true professional, and the rest of cast does an above average job as well - for a documentary. The commentary from experts is equally as pleasing, and quite balanced. It stays on point and leads from beginning to end like a good book.
Well worth a buy for the facts, acting, and return value. I give this 4 stars as it is not anamorphic, but letterboxed widescreen (not enhanced for 16x9 TV's).

Does excellent justice to the man who won the Revolution. Changes your mind about the relative merits of the Founding Fathers. That he was one of the greatest men who ever lived comes as an afterthought (many afterthoughts here). A thoroughly human human being. Does not stint his science. All actors here are superb. Perhaps a few too many professors, but even they outdo themselves. Terrific humor, tragedy. Best thing ever seen on PBS. Do not miss the opening scene!
