Amazon.com:
Alan Alda's follow-up to the hit comedy The Four Seasons, Sweet Liberty is an intermittently successful and lighthearted comedy that imagined what would happen if the past and present collided via Hollywood. It also provided a blueprint for David Mamet's State & Main, which took a similar premise and satirically ran amok with it. A local history professor who writes a surprise bestseller about the Revolutionary War, Alda is a man contending with a fairly mundane life until a Hollywood film crew shows up in his hometown to turn his book into a movie--one that's filled with loads of sex and violence, unlike the scholarly tome it's based on. And the drama that's being filmed soon spills over to real-life, as Alda falls in love with the actress playing his book's heroine, and his fiancée (Lise Hilboldt) becomes enamored of the movie's leading man. Alda and Hilboldt may be the film's central couple, but it's the movie stars they're fascinated with who will catch your eye: Michael Caine, right before he embarked on his career renaissance, and a young Michelle Pfeiffer, who for the first time got to show off her beguiling comic side. As the lothario leading man with eyes for any woman who crosses his path, Caine is the kind of charming cad you can never really hate for too long. And Pfeiffer, who gets the benefit of playing both the innocent maiden of the movie-within-the-movie and her neurotic, real-life counterpart, neatly tucks the movie into her bodice and saunters off with it. --Mark Englehart

The movie was cheap, dry and down right boring to the point that I fell asleep in the middle of it and didn't wake up until the credits were over. After watching it again I stayed away through it but don't know why I did...

Good, clean and entertainig comedy. Pretty typical Alan Alda in a comedic role. Lillian Gish is outstanding

Light hearted comedy - I miss the Alda movies of the 80's - glad to find this and The Four Seasons available on DVD - he should have made many more films. Fun performances from many 80's stars - too many to single any out.
Enjoy

Never once did I see Alda playing this college professor in a small North Carolina town. I saw Alda playing his MASH character for 2 hours. Shows how much Alda loved his tv character that he resurrects everything about Hawkeye for this one. The humor, the irreverence at the film's battle scene conclusion, the womanizing. Surprised not to see Harry Morgan make a cameo appearance but then he was probably sitting in jail after beating up his wife and couldn't make it. Another reviewer here mentioned ... Read More

If watching The Patriot made you want to pull the hair out of your powdered wig, you will roar with laughter and appreciation for Sweet Liberty.
Thanks to Alan Alda, now immensely popular with reinactors, you will see up close and personal just how Hollywood and its evil spawn view history. Believe me, its strictly a don't-let-history-get-in-the-way-of-a-good-story world, filled with contempt for the truth, and contempt for the audience.
At least we can have KARMA pay them ... Read More
