Bill Murray as FDR

Yep in the film "Hyde Park on the Hudson" from 2013. The story is based on the weekend British Royalty goes to Hyde Park in 1939. It's a interesting story that seems to be based fully on actual events.

Murray is a good actor and has surely tried to turn himself into an introspective one compared to the early clown and pretty successfully so as I see it. I did think FDR was a bit of a stretch and that more make up was needed to make him look more like FDR. Maybe that is because of me, maybe not.

That said it is an interesting story with a lot of great acting within. I'd say it's well worth watching. Much of the interaction between FDR and another character is said to be based on letters she actually received from him that became public after her death at age 100.
