The President's Lady (1953)

Director:

 Henry Levin

Writers:

 John Patrick, Irving Stone (novel)

Stars:

 Susan Hayward, Charlton Heston, John McIntire 
 
The President's Lady is an historical drama starring Charlton Heston as Andrew Jackson and Susan Hayward as his wife Rachel, Jackson marries Rachel after she divorces her unfaithful first husband (Whitfield Connor), with scandal resulting when the ex-husband refuses to finalize the divorce. Jackson climbs up the military and political ladder, but Rachel is never socially acceptable due to her "tainted" past. Nonetheless, Jackson stands staunchly beside his wife, even fighting a duel for her honor. On the eve of Jackson's presidential election, Rachel dies, but "Ol' Hickory" takes comfort in recalling a marriage that remained happy against all odds. The best sequence in The President's Lady is a comic vignette which explodes the legend of the "pipe-smoking" Rachel Jackson.

  1. Wow who knew 5 Star Review

    The story of president Andrew Jackson from his early years, the film begins when he meets Rachel Donaldson Robards, on a Tuesday - his lucky day. The plot concentrates on the scandal concerning the legality of their marriage and how they overcame the difficulties. A very interesting piece of history and well worth watching.

  2. Classic soap opera, dramatic twists...but...it's all the truth...not fiction! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on Feb 6th 2016

    The grizzled and drawn looking face on our $20 bills, had a life filled with strife. Born posthumously, taken prisoner-of-war, in his teens, Andrew Jackson did more than, earn his nickname of 'Old Hickory,' he lived it. Little did he know, what life would have in store for him, when he met the woman of his dreams, Rachel Donelson. Charlton Heston and Susan Hayward bring Andrew and Rachel Jackson, to life, in this compelling story, in 'The President's Lady,' produced in 1953, by 20th Century-Fox, and directed by Henry King. If you think, citizenship issues, in this year's elections, makes for fascinating and intriguing political ramifications, the challenges and scandal, that faced Andrew and Rachel Jackson, will, really, make you pause. You'll be swept up in the drama, as you see their lives, together, unfold. I, heartily, recommend 'The President's Lady.'
