We will more than compensate with spirit!

Here's a short bit of a John Adams speech cut from the movie version of 1776. This segment isn't commercially available on VHS or DVD.

I know! I don't get it either! I want, no demand, every last second to be restored to the film! Every infinetsimal detail!

Thomas Jefferson likes to read =]

@BibleJoker2Face - watch the scene again. Listen to what Adams is saying as the camera focuses on the face of a *child*.

How can a coalition of 22 souls stand up to 500+ filthy pigs who refuse to move from the public trough?

@hollygolightly101 Heck, I'd settle for getting the right incidental music back. I rented the laserdisc once, and I liked the music so much better in that version...

good thing that shot of Jefferson looking out during Adams' speech was cut. it detracted from the point of the scene.

Thomas Jefferson loved books and children. What a perfect man :) (especially if he had looked like that!)

Ah...the spirit and future of America was right there if Congress had only looked...and yet they were too busy ridiculing the idea to see it! Masterful shot of the children in the background, it's a shame the scene was cut.
