Reviews:
The film "Penn of Pennsylvania" is not a crowd pleaser and it's the sort of movie few would enjoy. However, as a retired history teacher, I loved how it actually captured his life much better than the average film of the day. Perfect? Nah...but worth seeing.

This biopic is about William Penn and follows him from his conversion to his founding Pennsylvania and the death of his wife. It's a bit idealized and at times seems a tad stagy, but it did stick reasonably close to the facts. In particular, I thought the court case was ridiculous and never happened...and I researched and found that the judges DID refuse to accept the jury's verdict AND did imprison them for their decision! Crazy...but true.

Overall, a good look at who William Penn was...but because it is close to the facts, it's also not among the more exciting films you can watch...and I can live with that.
