Though wisely confined to a single significant phase of Roosevelt's career, the play is not a great deal more than a well-composed opportunity for Actor Bellamy. That it fails to be more stems partly from the nature of the undertaking. Playwright Schary is constantly concerned with domestic rather than public matters, not least with home and mother-things that dictate a pretty gingerly and sugar-tongued approach. Some of the play's characters are never really used; some never come alive because of the ticklishness of treating people still actually alive. As a family play, Sunrise...
Soothed and supported by an M-G-M settlement that will pay him $100,000 a year over a ten-year period, Dore Schary set his sights on Broadway, where in the late '203 and '303 he had been a bit actor and an unsuccessful playwright (only one production reached Broadway). "I had long felt there was a play in F.D.R.'s illness," he says. After long talks with the family and meticulous research, Playwright Schary first whipped off the last scene, in which Roosevelt doggedly humps himself to the rostrum on crutches to make the nomination...

...actor Lanza shows in this picture considerable improvement. He remembers almost all his lines, and he gives some imitations (of Perry Como, Frankie Laine, Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong) that could easily have been worse. He seems to enjoy the jokes they have assigned to him ("You're Italian?" "No. Only on my father's and mother's side"), and he generally plays as though he thought the story-something about an American crooner who gets stranded in Rome-rather interesting. The scenery, as a matter of fact, is fascinating. At one point, while the camera takes...
