Sean Connery and Brian Keith give wonderful, charming performances in a stirring film that makes for a thoughtful action adventure. There is great wit, insight, and political observation, which is as topical now as when it was made. As incongruous as Connery's accent may be in this role, he is perfect in his role. Keith was never better and his portrayal of TR is superb and worthy of an Oscar. Certainly an underrated actor who knew his craft and makes this movie a memorable experience. Fun, Romantic, and Beautifully filmed, it is a historical epic, yet intimate and touching at the same time. Simply a lovely effort from a very talented writer/director who rarely realizes the potential displayed here.
