Customer Reviews

What do we want? DVD! When do we want it? NOW!
Tell me how it's possible that one of the finest mini-series about the founding father of America is not available to buy on DVD or on video? I watched this as a teenager and loved it. Come on, Hollywood! Where's your patriotism?

George Washington
This is by far the most complete and best attempt at chronicling in (dramatic film fashion) the life of George Washington done to date. Washington's life, actions and accomplishments permanently impacted and greatly influenced this country and the entire world. To portray a real life man such as that is a challenge. Barry Bostwick does an admirable job as Washington and Patty Duke puts in a very good performance as Martha. The supporting cast in general is solid. While there is some artistic liberty taken with certain facts the story is fairly accurate. The movie is long but it does cover allot of his early life and US history. I highly recommend this movie and the sequel "The Forging of a Nation".

Why Is this Not on DVD.
This documentery needs to be on DVD. I have this on VHS and love it. It is the only movie around about George Washington. the Cast is great. History isnt all dates and battles. these people lived and had flaws. In a time of great need to this nation Washington stood up and was counted. This needs to be in schools so kids can see it.
