Two Award-Winning Films from Director Dan Curtis starring Dean Jones When Every Day Was The Fourth Of July: The summer of 1937 in Bridgeport, Connecticut was a time of innocence and adventure for 12-year-old Daniel Cooper and his 10-year-old sister Sarah. It was the year that Sarah's friend Snowman, a brain-damaged veteran of World War I, was accused of murder. Believing him to be innocent, Sarah convinces her attorney father, Ed Cooper (Dean Jones), to defend Snowman -- a decision that leads to an explosive and unforgettable courtroom drama. The Long Days of Summer: During the summer of 1938, Jewish attorney Ed Cooper and his family are faced with a growing sense of bigotry in the community, mixed with awareness of the increasing menace overseas in the form of Adolf Hitler. The talk of Bridgeport, however, centers around the pending rematch between boxing heavyweight champ Joe Lewis and his German challenger -- a controversy that fuels the smoldering conflict about to erupt in this powerful sequel to When Every Day Was the Fourth of July. |
