Super story of Harry S Truman and Super expose' of a great actor., 10 August 2004
Author: RSBlain from USA

My comments concerning "Give Em Hell Harry" need only be short and sweet. This was, bar none, one of the finest movies I have ever seen giving a biography of a presidency and it is done as a one-man show. It is just, well, S-U-P-E-R. If you want to learn a little about a man or a presidency, if you want to see a great actor in action, this is a movie for you. Experience the trauma of an era. Experience the greatness of a man. Experience the fantastic portrayal by a great actor by not missing this movie. I can't imagine anyone being sorry they took time out to live within a period of time for a few short minutes by watching/being a part of this great offering in movie making and stage playing. Don't cheat yourself if you have the opportunity of viewing it. It is a 10 in my eyes without a doubt.
