Good old fashioned biography of FDR's struggle against polio and his journey back to the political arena. Good supporting performances and a handsome production add luster to this but the real strength of it is in the performances of Greer Garson as Eleanor and especially Ralph Bellamy in the best role he ever had as FDR. Wonderful ending.

Super Reviewer

Very long but an exceptional biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor. The lead performances are truly great, especially Greer Garson as Eleanor. One drawback, it is very stagy. It may have been based on a play, but this is a movie, not a play.
