steve d A bit melodramatic but it works. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Well,Cary Grant has a ponytail. They take extreme liberty with factual events. And made in 1940 it was probably meant to be patriotic and inspiring. That's it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This was on very late the other night, so I watched most of it, but I didn't get to see the end, I was too tired. Grant is energetic and sexy in this historic film of a man who is pursuing his dreams in America, and the wife from an aristocratic background that conflicts with his lifestyle. I liked this movie so far, but I really need to see how it ends, I hope they play it again sometime. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
