HBO Saturday Night Movie: Warm Springs
As the only U.S. president re-elected three times, he brilliantly led America through the Great Depression and World War II. But the toughest challenge Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever faced was one the country never saw.

1. Interesting casting.
Kenneth Branaugh as FDR and Cynthia Nixon as Eleanor Roosevelt.

It does look interesting.

9. I agree, wholeheartedly. Those were the days, my friend --
we thought they'd never end. My husband's last comment to me when the credits crawled, "And look what we have now -- the dumbass from Texas. Jeeze!"

In case you missed it, this is "our Glorious Leader -- *ummm* -- in -- uh --ACTION." It's priceless! Credit to CaliforniaPeggy from earlier today!

8. Loved it!
It was a beautiful movie. I loved it!!! Only sad part really was when he had an affair and when he was about to give up hope on walking again.
