One of three filmed one man stage shows starring actor James Whitmore. The three movies with a cast of one are [in order]: Will Rogers' USA (1972), Give 'em Hell, Harry! (1975), and Bully: An Adventure with Teddy Roosevelt (1978).
Actor James Whitmore later appeared in Swing Vote (1999) and about three years after playing Democrat President Harry S. Truman in Give 'em Hell, Harry! (1975) portrayed Republican President Theodore Roosevelt in Bully: An Adventure with Teddy Roosevelt (1978). Both these two presidential pictures were filmed one man stage shows with an entire cast of one.
In the 1970s, actor James Whitmore transformed into a magnificent one-man-show machine playing such celebrated and inspiring historical/entertainment icons as Will Rogers, Harry Truman and Theodore Roosevelt. He disappeared into these historical legends so efficiently that even the powers-that-be had the good sense to preserve them on film and TV in the form of Will Rogers' USA (1972); Give 'em Hell, Harry! (1975), which earned him his second Oscar nomination; and Bully: An Adventure with Teddy Roosevelt (1978).
