Bully for Whitmore, 19 May 2006
7/10
Author: Christopher Craig (iluvms@msn.com) from Atlanta, GA

Teddy Roosevelt was, and still is, my favorite president. As a freshman in college, this was the first film I was assigned to review for my college paper. But that was 1978. I haven't seen it since. I do recall being enlightened about Roosevelt and entertained by the film. Whitmore, who had received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1975 for a similar turn as Harry Truman in GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY, if I remember correctly, goes beyond the familiar and well-essayed mannerisms (the toothy smile, the confident stride) and gets to the heart of Teddy. His mourning the loss of his son still remains vivid in my memory. I think, however, it would be difficult to find this film. For that matter, no one will probably ever read this review.
