Rodney B @GreatNate Jul 19 Soapy dramatics with Cary miscast as crude frontiersman during the American revolution. See more Linda J @RT19188961 Jul 4 Watched this on July 4th to commemorate the Declaration of Independence, but this film is so fictional and distorted that it is not worth watching. Thomas Jefferson is made into a saint. There is no mention of slavery. And it's overacted. See more steve d @RT35616104 01/09/2023 A bit melodramatic but it works. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 11/09/2014 The Howards of Virginia is a disappointing film. It is about an aristocrat's daughter who marries a man from humble beginnings. Cary Grant and Martha Scott give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Frank Lloyd did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more 07/06/2014 A good cast and handsome production but there wasn't enough of drama to the Revolutionary War they had to throw in a family soap opera too? See more 10/21/2012 This movie is based on the book "The Tree of Liberty" by Elizabeth Page. I enjoyed this story of a Virginian farmer who marries a wealthy plantation owner's sister. It's a story of class and culture as the two collide in the marriage. As the years pass and the couple bear children until the war with England breaks out. This causes a bigger rife between the couple. The story is great despite the flaws and this isn't Cary Grant's best performance. He is still great to look at, though, and the story concludes all is well. www.what-to-watch.com See more Read all reviews
