As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     In Civil War-torn Virginia a farmer (played by James Stewart) works tirelessly to maintain his farm and to keep his large family safe. However peaceful his viewpoint on life may be he tends to get a little riled when one of his clan is harassed. When his sixteen year-old son is mistaken for a Confederate and taken prisoner by Union soldiers Stewart takes it upon himself to mount a rescue operation, with most of his family in tow. Okay for a Civil War drama but if you’re looking for a tale of action you’d best look elsewhere.
OUR RATING— **
