Product Description
A searing portrait of one young man's quest for the truth about his past. Directed by the legendary Sidney Lumet (Dog Day Afternoon, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) this moving film stars Oscar winner Timothy Hutton as Daniel, the fictionalized son of the Rosenbergs, executed in 1953 for selling secrets to the Soviets. Contrasting Daniel's involvement with the '60s protest movement and his parents own collaboration with the Communist Party, Daniel is a moving and masterfully acted thriller. Also starring Mandy Patinkin, Ed Asner and Ellen Barkin.

Historical drama with magnificent actors August 2, 2008

Timothy Hutton is luminous in this film, as the fictional son of the Rosenbergs. He should have own an award for this portrayal. All the actors, so many well known now, and including the children portraying the young Daniel, are wonderful. There are layers of story unfolding, and the layers are punctuated by the singing of Paul Robeson at intervals, giving a depth and weight to the already intense story. A few viewers may not like the parts where Daniel talks about the many forms of execution, but this is a small part of the film. I recommend this film to anyone who lived through the 60s, and interested in the many films directed by Sidney Lumet. Superb.

Not a review, just filling in what's missing from this page.
I haven`t seen the movie but I loved the book.
Director Sidney Lumet's 1983 fictional film from E.L. Doctorow's novel (he also wrote the screenplay) is finally coming out on DVD. It's more or less about the son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg dealing with life in the 1960's.
This was Timothy Hutton's follow-up to Taps and his oscar winning performance in Ordinary People.
The cast also includes Mandy Patinkin, Lindsay Crouse, Edward Asner, Ellen Barkin, Tovah Feldshuh and Amanda Plummer.
After a couple of forgettable flicks, Lumet explored similar themes, the children of radicals, with Running On Empty in 1988.
