3.0 out of 5 stars Cary Grant -- miscast but still fun to watch, Aug 15 2003
By 
This review is from: The Howards Of Virginia (DVD)
At 115 minutes, this Hollywood historical film runs a bit long, and Cary Grant isn't the best fit for Matt Howard, but he is still fun to watch and the film covers interesting bits of the events leading up to the American Revolution, such as the Boston Tea Party. We also meet Thomas Jefferson and listen to Patrick Henry. The film's tension comes from the class differences between rebel Matt and his conservative wife, Jane. While the sets and costumes look good, the story lags at times, but this would be a worthwhile rental for Grant fans or Revolution cinephiles.

The dvd features are: subtitles in English, French or Japanese, and trailers for three other classic films.
