I was satellite channel grazing & happened on this present day fairytale! Being a supporter of the other team in Manchester I initially presumed that, with the film being about City, that it would be an out & out comedy! There are some funny moments but there are also some touching moments too. Its one of those films with something for everyone. The music is great & it wasnt padded out. Im buying it so I can watch it again. My husband though it was great. My folks will love this too. 5 star!

John Milton Hay began his public career as a secretary to Abraham Lincoln. His diary & writings during the Civil War are basic historical sources. He is credited by some as being the author of Lincolns letter to the Widow Bixby, consoling her for the loss of her sons in the war. Hay was present when Lincoln died after being shot at Fords Theatre. Hay & his fellow secretary, John G Nicolay, wrote a 10-volume biography of Lincoln & prepared an edition of his collected works. Hay was named US ambassador to Britain in 1897 when his friend William McKinley became President. Some of the recognition of the longstanding community of interests between that country & the United States came as a result of Hays stay there. In August 1898, Hay was named Secretary of State & helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris. His contributions included the adoption of an Open Door Policy in China & the preparations for the Panama Canal.
