Renaissance Man

Renaissance Man

1994

In this feel-good comedy, Bill Rago (Danny DeVito), an unemployed advertising executive, accepts a job teaching English to a group of idiotic Army privates. Rago eventually converts them and makes a positive impact on their personal lives in the process. How? By using the seductive iambic pentameter of William Shakespeare, of course. Penny Marshall directs; Gregory Hines and Ed Begley Jr. co-star.

One Man's Mission To Teach The Few, The Proud... The Impossible!
