Yes, come to think of it, there are some odd choices in the "Lees of Old Virginia" scene and elsewhere. I also wish there wasn't that very long shot of Virginia Vestoff running far away from the camera in "Compliments." And I still don't understand why the opening section of the film apparently takes place after sundown, even though Congress is in session. But I do think the movie is very well directed overall. I mean, even the some of the best movie musicals -- THE SOUND OF MUSIC, WEST SIDE STORY, THE MUSIC MAN -- have a few directorial decisions I don't agree with :-)
This may be heresy, but I actually think some of the less fortunate directorial moments in 1776 were excised for the edited version that was originally released. |
