Yesterday I watched the movie “The Plymouth Adventure”, starring Spencer Tracy (who did an outstanding acting job), Van Johnson, and others. Excellent cast, great scenes on the Mayflower itself, especially the storm scene, and wonderful dialogue between the characters. Not a false note anywhere. Spencer Tracy should have gotten an Oscar for his superb acting in his role as the cantankerous Captain of the Mayflower. I highly recommend this movie directed by George Stevens (it was on TCM). Find it if you can, as it is perfect at this Thanksgiving time of year.
A good book about the Pilgrims: “Saints And Strangers” by George Willison.
