The Crossing

[ihuntsnook]

Caught "The Crossing" last night starring Jeff Daniels on Verizon cable. Haven't seen it in a long time, but well worth a repeat. One of the finest American Revolution movies, in my opinion, done by Hallmark, and very appropriately aired on Christmas night. It tells the tale of Washington's surprise attack on Trenton. Forget who wrote the book, but it was a great read as well.

Howard Fast also wrote a book about Washington's troubles between Boston and Trenton called the Unvanquished. Another great read.

this is a lucky find for me; I just ran into that on amazon dot com, and was wondering if it was any good. There are just so few movies of the whole era, from 1650s (except witch trial stories :cursing: ) to Lewis and Clarks western romp.

Worth watching.

It is an excellent movie and the characters were well portrayed. Very realistic.

Good movie but i didnt like how it just ended the way it did. Kind of felt like a cliff hanger.
