Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sunrise at Campobello is a 1960 film directed by Vincent J. Donehue, starring Ralph Bellamy and Greer Garson. Adapted by producer Dore Schary from his own Tony Award-winning 1958 stage play, it is a Biopic of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.Specifically, the film deals with the years 1921–24, starting when FDR was stricken with polio and paralyzed at the age of 39, and following the family as Franklin (Bellamy) deals with his illness. Franklin's political future is up in the air; as Eleanor (Garson) tries to support him, his loyal assistant and political advisor Louis Howe (Hume Cronyn) urges him to re-enter the political arena despite his handicap, and his domineering mother Sara (Ann Shoemaker) tries to get him to retire from public life and return to Hyde Park to be a country squire. Finally Roosevelt makes a triumphant return to politics when he delivers the nominating speech for Al Smith (Alan Bunce) at the 1924 Democratic National Convention.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Compare Warm Springs, a 2005 TV movie starring Kenneth Branagh which offers a more fictionalized take on the same period of Roosevelt's life.

Dark Horse Victory: Alluded to by Al Smith, who says to FDR, "I'd like to win this nomination, but there's a good chance it could be a stalemate. Some dark horse might come riding home." In fact, this is what happened, when the convention picked John W. Davis on the 103rd ballot after being stalemated between Smith and William McAdoo. (Davis went on to take one of the all-time beat downs from Coolidge in the 1924 election.)

Biopic: Dealing with a relatively short but very important period in the life of Franklin Roosevelt.

As You Know: A whole bunch of this in the beginning as dialogue establishes that FDR ran for Vice President in 1920 and lost, and that Louis Howe thinks he should go work on Wall Street for a while but the more socially progressive Eleanor disapproves.
