Apr 22, 2014Bill Murray's recent depiction of Roosevelt continues the middling attempts at capturing his life that was first tried in this film. Like Roosevelt himself, we are trapped in Campobello which seems like a good place to vacation but not to base a film around.John B Super Reviewer

Sep 12, 2010Good 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.jay n Super Reviewer
