Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years   1977     4 stars    TV, 150 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Daniel Petrie  
Cast: Jane Alexander, Edward Herrmann, Rosemary Murphy, Walter McGinn, Blair Brown, David Healy, Peggy McCay, Donald Moffat, Mark Harmon, John Beal, Priscilla Pointer, Toni Damay, Barbara Conrad, Morgan Farley, Anna Lee

  This sequel has most of the same cast and is every bit as good as the first one. It covers FDR's and Eleanor's (Edward Herrmann and Jane Alexander) years in the White House from 1933 to 1945. Told in flashback as Eleanor attends Franklin's funeral, the stories include Eleanor working for social reform, coming to the aid of polio-stricken Franklin, and learning how to deal with Franklin's domineering mother Sara (Rosemary Murphy). The stories also reflect on FDR pulling the country out of the Depression and his "Day of Infamy" speech in which he declares war on Japan. This sequel received Emmys for Best Director and Outstanding Special.

Now working as a chauffer, he meets a beautiful young American, Ellie (Hayley Mills), who is vacationing in England. They hit it off, and when he finds that she is one of America's richest people, he convinces her to buy the estate. They also fall in love and move into their new home. All is happy for the couple until strange things begin to happen, and friends, relatives, and neighbors continue to pop up. Where this all leads is not revealed until late in the film.
