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