About Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot
Williamsburg: the Story of a Patriot tells the story of Virginia's role in American Independence (up to the point of voting to propose independence at the Second Continental Congress), from the point of view of John Fry (played by a young Jack Lord), a fictional Virginia planter elected to the House of Burgesses.
Directed by George Seaton, Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Lord, Leora Dana, Margery Maude — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1957.
