1. William Daniels and 1776!

I can't wait to hear him talk about the making of the film (and, perhaps, the Broadway play as well). I read an interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda and William Daniels talking about 1776 and Hamilton. It was heaven for this history geek/musical fan!

2. I have my dvr set for Dodsworth. That is an extraordinary film with

two of the best movie performances (Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton) I have ever seen.

3. 1776 and Dodsworth in the same night? Be still my heart. Two great films

4. "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man..."

You'll have to go to the link to get the rest of the quote.

LOVE 1776, and William Daniels as John Adams, any time of the year.
