"THE INDOMITABLE
TEDDY ROOSEVELT" "Extraordinary, moving, magnificent! Just about everyone should see it. A brilliant biographical portrait of TR. Watching this film is like taking a deep breath of Roosevelt's life. It makes you want to cheer, and then it makes you want to cry!"
--- Tom Shales, The Washington Post "This critic does not have the slightest idea how programming like this came to pass... it is entirely refreshing. It takes considerable audacity for a producer -- here it is Harrison Engle -- to give us something like this now. One of the year's best!"
--- John Corry, The New York Times "The two-hour program is a stunner...it is TV's equivalent of a great read and shouldn't be missed...the product of inspired direction by Harrison Engle." --- Howard Rosenberg, The Los Angeles Times
--- Todd McCarthy, Variety

Stirring!" --- Leonard Maltin, TV Movies 1999 "For history buffs… Harrison Engle’s inspired Emmy-nominated chronicle of the country’s youngest president is splendid!" --- Susan King, Los Angeles Times August, 1999
--- Jim Bernat, Chestertown, NY, Amazon Online, 2001
