The most sullied figure of the American Revolution receives partial redemption in Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor. Produced for the A&E network, this factual drama reveals the lesser-known circumstances of Arnold's dishonor, beginning in 1777 and chronicling his fall from greatness. The conquering hero of Saratoga and other victories of the Revolution finds himself in an impossible predicament, his allegiance torn between his British loyalist wife (Jane Brennan) and his paternally devoted commander, George Washington (Kelsey Grammer), as his Colonial detractors cast him into a tragic no-win scenario. Authentically detailed and blessed by playwright William Mastrosimone's poetic period dialogue, Benedict Arnold successfully explores the personal and political facets of a great soldier's downfall. Aidan Quinn's expressive melancholy perfectly suits his title role, and Grammer transcends Frasier, lending appropriate gravitas--and some physical resemblance--to his portrayal of America's future president. Like A&E's earlier film The Crossing, this is compelling historical drama, entertaining, intelligent, and emotionally complex. --Jeff Shannon

Kelsey Grammar fares best as George Washington but Aidan Quinn is often hopelessly at sea as Benedict Arnold, a bit of a problem when he's the main character. It's an ... Read More

Again, an eagerly anticipated evening's enjoyment watching an excellent movie about an important part of America's history, is thwarted because of no sub-titles.

My dvd came with an A&E Biography of Benedict Arnold which is all an amateur history buff could want.
[I could not bring myself to watch the featured movie, however.]

Aidan Quinn was horrible. Kelsey Grammer made the movie. If he wasn't in it, I might not have made it to the end. On the upside, the bonus A&E Biography on Arnold was good. Watch it before you watch the movie.
