I caught the end of this one this evening. It's about FDR's fight with polio. From what I saw of it it looked pretty good. I liked the costumes especially. I was wondering if any of you have seen this film and what did you think of it?

I thought it was uplifting film depicting hope and overcoming of the odds. I never knew how late in his life did FDR contract polio. It must have made it even harder since he was such a vigorous man. Dealing with polio really must have given the courage and the fortitude to get the US out of the Depression.

They filled this with a great cast as well of some top notch actors & actresses. It's one I'll have to watch again to get the full scope of it. I usually like what Kenneth Branagh is in.

Cheers!
