I recently came upon a movie on netflix called April Morning. It was made in 1988. For info follow the IMDB link below.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094673/fullcreditsIt is based on a book by Howard Fast. It was published in 1961
http://www.amazon.com/April-Morning-Howard-Fast/dp/0553273221Has any one seen this movie or read the book. I cannot believe I have never even hear of it before. The movie is small budget but well done. It tells the story of a teenage boy who joins his father on Lexington Green as the British are working their way towards it and what happens that day after the shot heard around the world. I do not believe it would ever be made today. To much talk about manliness, guns and standing up for your rights... oh and killing those who want to take them away. Hollywood would be aghast today to produce such a movie.
I just got the book and will begin reading it.
Any thoughts, comments or discussions would be appreciated. (I know, this is GD and I have set my expectations to high.)
It is a timely movie to watch considering the times we live in.
