This review is from: George Washington (boxed set of three) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This documentery needs to be on DVD. I have this on VHS and love it. It is the only movie around about George Washington. the Cast is great. History isnt all dates and battles. these people lived and had flaws. In a time of great need to this nation Washington stood up and was counted. This needs to be in schools so kids can see it.

4.0 out of 5 stars George Washington, January 26, 2000

This review is from: George Washington (boxed set of three) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is by far the most complete and best attempt at chronicling in (dramatic film fashion) the life of George Washington done to date. Washington's life, actions and accomplishments permanently impacted and greatly influenced this country and the entire world. To portray a real life man such as that is a challenge. Barry Bostwick does an admirable job as Washington and Patty Duke puts in a very good performance as Martha. The supporting cast in general is solid. While there is some artistic liberty taken with certain facts the story is fairly accurate. The movie is long but it does cover allot of his early life and US history. I highly recommend this movie and the sequel "The Forging of a Nation".

I will leave it to others to write a synopsis of the characters and story of this series based on the books by James Thomas Flexner. I have seven children ranging from two years of age up to fifteen. Every member of my family, all nine of us, are GLUED to it every time we watch it. It is excellent for family viewing.
This title and it's sequel, George Washington: Forging of a Nation, belong in every home and every library in the country! When will we see them on DVD?!!!
