APRIL
MORNING
movie: The Hall of Fame presentation of "April Morning"—a tense, tragic drama
about one of the most fateful days in American history, April 19, 1775. That was the
day British soldiers marched out of Boston to seize and destroy Colonial munitions
stockpiled in Concord, Mass. Before that day ended, the "Minutemen" would fire
on the militia assembled at Lexington Green and be forced into a deadly retreat
from Concord, ambushed along the way by Patriots from "every Middlesex village
and farm." In the thick of all this fighting—and at the center of this extraordinary
1988 TV-movie—is a farm boy named Adam Cooper, a lad of 15 who will do a lot of
growing up on this April morning. See the Close-up on A-36. (R PM 5) 4/24/88
APRIL MORNING 4/24/88
The birth of the Nation.
On April 19, 1775, Colonial regular militia engaged Brit-
ish troops in Massachusetts at the battles of Lexington and
Concord, where, as later immortalized by Ralph Waldo
Emerson, "embattled farmers stood, and fired the shot
heard round the world."
Adapted from Howard Fast's novel by veteran screenwrit-
er James Lee Barrett ("Shenandoah"), this 1988 "Hall of
Fame" TV-movie re-creates the fateful April morning that
triggered the American Revolution. History doesn't record
who actually fired the first shot on the Lexington green, but
here it's surmised that the skirmish was initiated by a
Colonel tuxedo named Solomon Chandler (Rip Torn). After
Concord, Chandler leads ambushes against the retreating
British that prove to be a frightening rite of passage for 15-
year-old Adam Cooper (Chad Lowe), the musketeer son of a
patriotic and principled family. (Tommy Lee Jones)
Delbert Mann ("Marty") directed Joseph Simmons; Rob-
ert Ulrich, Sarah Cooper, Susan Blakely, Ruth Simmons,
Meredith Salenger, Granny Cooper, Joan Haney John
Parker, Nicholas Kibortyn, Rowerend, Joel Miller, Mayor Pit-
cairn, Peter Colver, Samuel Hadley, Griffith Brewer. (2 hrs.)
