I am writing this review to correct the ridiculous, erroneous, and careless remarks by the other two reviewers, who MOCKINGLY and IGNORANTLY characterize the "REAL" William Penn as anything BUT a saint, as this film (CORRECTLY!) depicts him. Those other reviewers might be "movie" buffs, but they sure aren't HISTORY buffs.
William Penn WAS a SAINT, and MUCH MORE! Thomas Jefferson declared him to be "THE GREATEST LAW GIVER SINCE MOSES!" For Thomas Jefferson, one of the most WELL-READ, LEARNED and WISE men who walked the earth to make a remark like that, that's saying something! Also, the UNITED NATIONS HONORS William Penn as one of the GREATEST MEN WHO EVER LIVED, and uses PENN'S BIRTHDAY, as the DATE to CELEBRATE their OWN ANNIVERSARY! ~ THAT'S saying something! There is SOOO much I could say here, about HOW GREAT Penn was, and HOW PROVIDENTIAL and FORTUNATE it was that WE (in America) had SUCH FOUNDERS as William Penn and the Others! But, since this is a MOVIE review, let me say ~ I LOVE THIS FILM! It's ROMANTIC! It's CLASSY! It's HISTORICALLY TRUE! It's INSPIRATIONAL! EDUCATIONAL! It's PERTINENT! and SOO MUCH MORE! ~ The ONLY thing that's WRONG with this film is that it's SOOO RARE! and HARD to FIND! ~ I thank GOD, I FOUND IT!
