Robin,

   I just saw Glory last weekend. Absolutely engaging!! I agree with your
point about Broderick being "young and vulnerable", but I believe that was
part of his character.  I think that as a sub-plot we see him growing up!
He even looks older as the picture goes on!

  As for my favorite scene, there is no choice but that testimonial around
the campfire! The low background hymn they were singing while each person
got up to speak was a perfect touch!

  You can go on and on talking about the good qualities of this movie.  But
when it would come down to the drawbacks of it, I think a person would be
hard pressed to find many!
