'George Washington' (1984) - Complete George Washington Biographic Mini-Series

With Barry Bostwick, Patty Duke, David Dukes, Jaclyn Smith and a giant cast of familiar 1970s and early 1980s actors. Originally aired as a mini-series -- shown in three parts, over three nights beginning on April 8th 1984.

I had the honor of being cast as a British soldier in the GW miniseries. This was in the summer of 1983. Although we were considered "extras", the group of guys I was with were trained by the stunt coordinator Jerry Gatlin. We were taught how to dress and act like British soldiers, including: marching in columns, handling and shooting the flintlock muskets, taking simulated bayonet stabs to the gut, and also simulated gunshots to the chest. We adopted the nickname "Gatlin's Raiders". We appeared in many scenes filmed at Fort Belvoir, Mount Vernon, and Gunston Hall, Virginia. Probably the most fun I have ever had that was legal. TR

I watched this great film the first time it aired, but now, after so many years, I, as a former refugee from Romania, my appreciation for this great country -- the land of the free and home of the brave -- knows no end. God bless America!

The 80s had a lot of fine miniseries and this is one of the best of those.

I live in a 260 year old home and found a book of the life of George Washington written in the early 1800's with lithograph art it's in excellent condition...George is the father of our country who was a extraordinary individual but extremely religious..bless him for his strength, beliefs and convictions in this great country

I'm a former soldier of the US Army (2017-2022). I served to keep the tradition of my family alive which goes back to Colonial America for the US. I didn't care about pay or benefits, I love my country and my countrymen. Seeing this film sets like concrete that Washington is my personal hero along with the men that fought with him during our fight for independence. I only hope my service honored the men of the past and that they would have been proud. I am proud to be an American citizen and deeply give thanks to all of those that fought and died for freedom over the last 250 years.

Edit: Because of my sense of duty to the Constitution and the Republic. I'm please to announce that I am reenlisting into the US Army. I was discharged originally because of the COVID vaccine now that it's not a requirement I can finally return to duty.

A great mini series giving a history lesson to all about the first man of our country who was so widely misunderstood.

Barry So awesome

[carolynderricks]

TV films back then were so well done. In an interview Bette Davis, who appeared in some herself praised their quality. I’d watch these over the junk being cranked out today; thank you for uploading for us!

[onewayturtles]

This is one of the best things I've ever seen on YouTube, TV, or the big screen.

[zacharyclark]

Barry Bostwick was the best Washington actor period.

I am PROUD to say that I am a direct descendant from the " Daughters Of The American Revolution " with certificate to prove it, plus an American Veteran . God bless America .

This was such a great movie and remembered watching it when it first aired in 84. Barry Bostwick, Patty Duke, Jaclyn Smith, Hal Holbrook, and James Mason among others did a fantastic job as a cast. Very informative, historical, and wonderful. Thanks for airing this.

The story is pretty well written actually. They don't shy away from the fact that our founding fathers were human, made mistakes large and small, lived with all the normal human emotions and had to make tough decisions like we all do. Sometimes, they had to decide between two bad choices, but they did the best they could. They lived in the time given to them. Loved the location shooting too, All the CGI nowadays, I'd forgotten how the location can make the movie, shooting at Mt. Vernon, Williamsburg, Philadelphia and in the Mid-Atlantic outer regions like Jersey, and Valley Forge, seeing all the familiar areas that are distinctively East coast and not Southern California or someplace else that does not look like the region at all. It may cost more and be more "trouble" but the result is worth it. Barry Bostwick as Washington is a good choice. The look is exactly what I would imagine, always the tallest, most distinguished man in the room is the impression Washington gave his peers and Bostwick nails it.

My seventh great-grandfather fought with General Washington and watched Cornwallis surrender his sword to him in New York. Then he walked home to Virginia.

I grew up watching this mini-series, and I love it. I was seriously in love with Sally Fairfax when I was a kid. Watching it again now, I'm in love all over again. Great series.

[TravelTimelapse]

We just watched this whole thing today, George Washingtons birthday and it has inspired me to be a better Patriot. God Bless America!

[michaelpatterson]

This is a fabulous series! I used it in my classroom teaching for years. Great acting; some weaknesses, but overall a great reminder of Washington's exalted position as a marvelous president.

[hollyegee]

As a descendant of several Revolutionary War fighters, and even one who hosted George Washington, I am so excited to see this! I am glad we still have a country full of Patriots!
