Outstanding biography of the years detailing Franklin D. Roosevelt fight to regain the use of his limbs following an attack of polio.
Branagh is perfect for the part that he has a down to a tee including that famous cigarette holder in FDR's mouth. He is well supported by TV star, Cynthia Nixon, who has the voice of Eleanor Roosevelt near to perfection.
Overprotective mother is played with a certain sting by Jane Alexander, who copped an emmy for her supporting performance. Even better is Kathy Bates, who was also nominated in this category, for her strong-independent role as FDR's therapist.
Stricken with polio at the height of his career, FDR comes to Warm Springs to recuperate. It is shown that while on this journey to the south, he really saw poverty at its worst and would begin to empathize with the poor and polio stricken people as well. He eventually invested his own money into this community. He saw first hand the improvements made by many thanks to the waters of this area.
You will agree that happy days are here again when you see this biography. It's a moving tribute to a future American president who knew we had nothing to fear but fear itself. One can readily see triumph victorious in the face of adversity.
