Valley Forge

Winter at Valley Forge, Pa., is proving brutal for George Washington (Richard Basehart) and his beleaguered, starving troops. Even worse, the American economy is at a standstill owing to the war, and American businessmen are urging Congress to accept an armistice with Great Britain so that normal commerce may resume. In a moment of uncertainty, Washington considers surrendering to British General Howe -- until the actions of a small group of revolutionary soldiers strengthen his resolve.
