1776 (Peter H. Hunt, 1972, DCP, 141 mins)Before there was HAMILTON, there was 1776, set in Philadelphia in the days leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Featuring more than a dozen members of the original Broadway cast, this musical revives the personal rivalries and political compromises of the Founders, using some of their own words in the lyrics. “A wonderful, witty, underrated musical” (Bob Bloom) and “a star-spangled, all-singing delight” (Carol Cling). Introduction by Michael Hattem. DCP from Swank.
“American Tunes” features films that investigate the meaning of America through song, and is co-presented by the Yale Film Archive and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
