Even as far back as 1947 the progressive left agenda is inserted: social justice and Woodrow Wilson...too bad it didn't make an impact when I first watched this movie in 1947...good movie but insinuations not subtle...Enjoyed Miss Barrymore, grande dame of both stage and screen...Ms. Young was terrific, as was the supporting staff,ie, the butler...even then the corruption of this city was and is known...makes an impact of the danger of one party in power too long...the attention to detail in the props, the costuming is outstanding...the patronizing tone, the attempt to shut down debate are all too reminiscent of present times...if we neglect the errors of the past it is too easy to repeat our mistakes...surprised this movie is not required for film studies to pour over for relevance.
