Wissenswertes
During the Revolutionary War, as many as 25% of colonists remained loyal to Britain, though not all were actively involved in undermining the revolution. One prominent loyalist was Benjamin Franklin's son William, who was the last colonial governor of New Jersey and a commander of loyalists that conducted guerrilla warfare in the New York City area. The British commander in New York often disapproved of Franklin's tactics. Estranged from his famous father, Franklin went into exile in London after the war and lived there until his death.

"Blow the Man Down" is heard on the soundtrack during a scene involving the man o' war. The sea shanty was composed anonymously in the 1860s, eighty-odd years after the incidents in this film.

a twisting tale

scarlet coat like most revolution flicks wasnt well received but is nears perfection in the art of movie making. a great character study of john andre the heroic redcoat who is revered by both friend and foe for courage,,, scarlett coat also probes the duality of the undercover agent ,,, as a counterfeit traitor maj bolton befriends andre and undertakes a high level penetration of british intelligence yet he defends andre in andre's courtmartial ... the film captures the moral ambiguity of the spy

how much of the spy's world is real ,,, which reality does he belong to the reality of his mision or the reality which the cover story creates

andre's capture and courtmartial is a success for bolton in his mission beyond that whch wahington would have ever demanded ,,, the mission was merely to identify the traitor in us ranks ,,, bolton has knocked out enemy intelligence as well ,,, yet bolton mourns the death of the man he was sent to destroy

ann francis plays a stock american character,,, compliant with the british but willing to engage them in a war of wits

a movie well worth revisiting
