I always try to catch this sometime over the July 4th holiday.

From a scene where a messenger delivers a letter from Washington to Congress...

Thomson: [reading Washington's letter] The situation is most desperate at the New Jersey training ground in New Brunswick, where every able bodied whore in the co... "WHORE?"... in the colonies has assembled. There are constant reports of drunkenness, desertion, foul language, naked bathing in the Raritan river, and an epidemic of the "French disease." I have placed this town off limits to all military personnel with the exception of officers. I beseech the congress to dispatch the War Committee to this place, in the hope of restoring some of the order and discipline we need to survive. Your obedient...

Things haven't changed all that much along the banks of the Raritan River.

True, but I love Philadelphia. I think they should have kept the US capital there.

Great movie. I was fortunate to see the traveling musical at PSU in 76 or 77 (1900's not 1700's). Has been one of my favorite musicals since then.
