Emmy award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier”) delivers a commanding performance as the Congressman in “Charming the Hearts of Men.” Digital Journal has the scoop.
“Charming the Hearts of Men” was written and directed by S.E. DeRose, and it was released on August 13 via Gravitas Ventures. It is a romantic drama that is set during the politically charged 60s where a sophisticated woman, Grace Gordon (Anna Friel), returns to her Southern hometown and discovers her options are limited yet discrimination is plentiful.
With the help of a Congressional ally, played by Kelsey Grammer, she inspires historic legislation which allows opportunities and protections never before afforded to women. Grace encourages him to “put women in” the landmark civil rights bill. “You will be remembered for being noble,” she tells him, thus striking down his claim that he will go down as “a fool.”
Grammer triumphs as the voice of hope and reason, and his acting in this film will certainly melt the audience’s hearts.
Without giving too much away, “Charming the Hearts of Men” is worth checking out. It is one of the greatest civil rights-related movies of 2021.
