(6,251 posts)1. William Daniels and 1776!
I can't wait to hear him talk about the making of the film (and, perhaps, the Broadway play as well). I read an interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda and William Daniels talking about 1776 and Hamilton. It was heaven for this history geek/musical fan!

two of the best movie performances (Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton) I have ever seen.

You'll have to go to the link to get the rest of the quote.
LOVE 1776, and William Daniels as John Adams, any time of the year.
