My husband and I saw this on cable years ago and fell in love with the history and life of George Washington. Barry Bostwick does a superb job as the main character and Patty Duke fits the role as his short wife, Martha. When we found it on VHS, we bought it and over time, our children have all watched it. When we found ourselves going to DC for vacation, we all watched it again to get a feel for the man and his life before visiting Mt. Vernon. Our children said the miniseries helped them understand what they saw and heard at Washington's home. Every history lover should have a copy of this classic miniseries.

Testimony of Two Men
(1977)
Very entertaining

I remember when this came on television in 1977. About 10 years ago, it came on again. This is a wonderful miniseries with so many of the old and new (generation of the time) actors. Seeing it today it seems a bit corny, but the story line is still powerful. Maybe one day some company will put out a DVD or VHS for this and for "Backstage at the White HOuse", another miniseries of the 70's.
