The Continental Congress in Philadelphia in 1776 had very little time for the war against the British - they were too busy fighting among themselves.
Peter Stone 's musical version of the historic debate is a vastly entertaining account of the fight by three men to achieve American Independence.
Screenplay by PETER STONE
Music and lyrics by SHERMAN EDWARDS
Directed by PETER HUNT. Films: page 23
