A TCM perennial – Producer/writer Dore Schary’s Sunrise at Campobello (1960) set in 1921 when FDR was stuck by polio with screen greats Greer Garson (as Eleanor Roosevelt), Ralph Bellamy (as FDR), Hume Cronyn (as FDR’s confidante Louis Howe) and Jean Hagen (as FDR’s private secretary Missy LeHand) all uniquely cast against type in this inspirational movie of how a future world leader overcame physical handicaps.
