    I WATCH IT EVERY YEAR. PS I'M NOT AMERICAN.

    The music is not particularly memorable but the story most definitely is. The birth of our nation is keenly dramatized with sharp dialog, intermittent humor, and of course the occasional song. Looking for a movie to watch on the 4th of July? Here it is.
