This award winning made-for-cable movie tells the story of American President Harry S.Truman and his role in the second World War. Gary Sinese stars in the title role of this biographical account, which is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner David McCullough's book. The film chronicles Truman's rise from unknown farmer to infamous American President -- who is chiefly remembered for being the first to use the atomic bomb. Diana Scarwid stars as Truman's wife Bess. Nominated for many awards that year, the film won the Emmy for "Best Made-for-Television Movie." Gary Sinese won the "Best Actor" Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild award for his impressive lead performance. ~ Bernadette McCallion, All Movie Guide

Diana Scarwid - Bess

Gary Sinise gives a sensitive portrayal of a complicated man in Truman. The made-for-television biopic comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles on this release. There are no real supplemental materials on this disc. History buffs and fans of Sinise will want to take a look at this fine film, but the disc itself holds little interest to the average DVD consumer. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
