 Sunrise at Campobello Summary & Essays - Dore Schary
Schary, in his foreword to the play, states that after reading everything he could find on the subject of FDR, he felt there was yet another ‘‘moving and dramatic tale to be told’’ concerning the years of FDR’s illness.
Schary was so moved that he devoted his entire play to the thirty-four months leading up to FDR’s speech in Madison Square Garden, one Schary felt was perhaps the most dramatic in its impact on the American public.
The triumph of Schary’s work is the economy the playwright demonstrates in conveying the emotional breadth and depth of a character of unquestionable fame in a very intimate, frank manner.

After a few up-and-down years in Hollywood, Schary sold a story called Boys Town to MGM; it won the 1938 Academy Award, and at long last Schary knew for sure where his next meal was coming from.
A disagreement with the MGM brass led Schary to quit, but he was soon claimed by independent producer David O. Selznick.
Schary's 1958 Broadway production of his own play Sunrise at Campobello earned five Tony Awards; subsequent Schary stage successes included A Majority of One (1960) and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1961), both of which he produced and directed but did not write.

Schary was no Irving Thalberg, but since his arrival in 1948, with MGM fortunes at an all-time low, the studio had begun showing a profit and earning Oscar nominations again.
The secret of Schary’s success was the well-made, low-budget picture with a message, and in his then ten-year career as an executive producer, war films had played a crucial role.
Schary’s fondness for war movies was not the result of military experience (he never served) nor was it due to hawkish political sentiments (in opposition to Mayer’s staunch Republicanism, he was a liberal Democrat who worshipped FDR and campaigned vigorously for Adlai Stevenson).

 Polio Movie: Sunrise at Campobello
[The movie is adapted from a 3 act play by writer-producer Dore Schary which was first presented by The Theatre Guild in NYC on January 30, 1958 at the Cort Theatre.]
Few still pictures were taken that show the extent of FDR's disability.  Most pictures show him either already seated or "propped" at the podium in such a way that he "appears" to be standing normally.  That takes tremendous effort and skill (something those with Polio often learn to do very well).
As we know, FDR was elected a record four terms as US President.  And, he was a well respected world leader in spite of his tremendous disability.  In March 1957,  Dore Schary wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt to ask for permission to write the play:
