A film crew descends on a small North Carolina college town to turn a history professor's scrupulously accurate novel about the American Revolution into big screen entertainment.

Reviews for Sweet Liberty
OK light comedy, directed by and starring Alan Alda, about filming of movie in small town.
A sweet, funny comedy about the perils of being a writer and making a movie. An underrated charmer.
