Movie Reviews

Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostLow key historical spy tale, with lavish color and costumes.
User Review - 6/10 by Scott RBeautifully shot and costumed, this Hollywood version of the Benedict Arnold takedown. Much like in history, it's Major Andre we're left rooting for - thanks to the swoon-worthy elegance Michael Wilding brought to the role. Unfortunately, there's too little action and too much dialogue for it to really capture the viewer. 3+ stars
User Review - 6/10 by jay nColorful semi factual historical drama. Good production values and okay performances.
User Review - 6/10 by WJ FThe story of an English Hero in the American Revolution. Interesting historical movie.
User Review - 4/10 by Carlton RPerhaps I was simply not in the mood for such a movie. An interesting tale about a traitor.
