As George Washington sends depressing messages describing one military disaster after another, the businessmen, landowners and slave holders in Congress all stand in the way of the Declaration, and a single “nay” vote will forever end the question of independence.
In the days leading up to July 4, 1776, Continental Congressmen John Adams and Benjamin Franklin coerce Thomas Jefferson into writing the Declaration of Independence as a delaying tactic as they try to persuade the American colonies to support a resolution on independence. The film version of the Broadway musical comedy of the same name.
Will the fiery and patriotic Carmela consent? He arranges a performance for his troops, bargaining with Paulino to stage a burlesque of the republic in exchange for the actors' freedom. They are arrested, fear a firing squad, and receive a reprieve from an Italian Fascist commander who loves the theatre. They are Republicans, and with their mute assistant, Gustavete, they journey into rebel territory by mistake. Paulino and Carmela are husband and wife, troubadours touring the countryside during the Spanish Civil War.
