Cameron M @Cameron11 08/28/2021 James Whitmore is fantastic as Truman in this filmed play. The way Whitmore keeps going in this one-man play with very few stumbles made me understand why the Oscars could not resist nominating him for his performance. However, I do believe it is a bit unfair, as this is more of a filmed play than an actual film. Out of the three performances I have seen in the Best Actor category, I think Whitmore was nearly as good as Nicholson and Pacino, but still the third best performance. The cinematography was ok if nothing spectacular. The script was quite good and led me to look up more regarding the history of Harry Truman. However, the jokes ranged from pretty funny to mildly amusing. Overall, a great performance with some interesting historical facts and a slightly amusing script.

Yes historical inaccuracies are present and there's a more jokey attitude in the script but it's a well spent time with someone who feels like one of our past American icons.

See more 07/20/2008 A virtuoso performance by Whitmore, but at times the characterization is a bit grating, and there's no truly deep insight into Harry Truman. See more Read all reviews
