Man with a Plan (1996)
Fred showed Vermont hearts and political ideas with humor and sagacity.
"Spread Fred" became one of the slogans that raised our (Vermont's) hopes for a better kind of political climate in Washington. As a Vermonter who hoped to hear "Fr-e-e-d Tu-tt-le" echoing not only down the Tunbridge valley but the whole state and then the nation, I made sure that my vote (in events occurring after the movie, which actually should have been made into a sequel!!)for Fred helped squelched Jack (money) McMillan. (See review by "lightning.") In "The Man with a Plan", Fred demonstrates basic honesty, Vermont country thinking, willingness to learn new ways and, as well, by doing things just as he always had, teaching the folks around him what had worked for him. He kept his feet solidly on the ground at the same time that he listened to friends and his 90 year old father. I obtained a VHS version of Man with a Plan and have loaned it to friends, purchased one for each of my five children and have watched it many times. I feel that it IS Vermont.
