Sweet Liberty

INSURRECTION DESTRUCTION and NUDITY! MICHAEL BURGESS JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HOLLYWOOD'S DOING TO HIS BOOK! It's Alan Alda versus Hollywood in the writer-director-star's hilarious comedy about moviemaking. As college history professor Michael Burgess, Alda's life and town are turned upside down when a film company arrives to make a movie out of his best-selling book on the American Revolution. To Professor Burgess' horror, leading man Michael Caine is a philandering adventurer; the movie's director want's to turn his historic novel into youth-orientated lusty romp and female star Michelle Pfeiffer is so obsessed by Alda's heroine, he begins to fall in love with the zany actress. Brimming with charm and gentle humour and co-starring Lise Hilboldt, Bob Hoskins, Lois Chiles, Linda Thorson and Lillian Gish, Sweet Liberty is Alan Alda's most delightful comic confection yet. © Universal City Studios, Inc.
