Colourisation is vandalism. Thought struck me that Ally was more smitten with Eloise than his father! How did she and Eleanor get on? I also preferred the 1944 version This seemed too dark and gloomy. Don't remake unless you can match the original. Which you generally can't! Could have any woman he wanted-and did! If men like that still exist,why doesn't Hollywood make movies about them today? TR is one of my favourite Presidents.I laughed at Teddy's saying that there'd be no more Roosevelts in the White House. They should have at least let Steele sing the title song! I hate to.break the news but some people put their personal prejudices before logic. I'm sure the audience applauded! Haven't a lot of us wanted to punch reporters at some time or other? Don't even think of it! Saunders actually- but no.way would a young woman and aide have been appointed In 1939. The kind of man America doesn't seem to produce these days-worst luck! Absolutely brilliant and almost perfect -until the abrupt and unconvincing ending. I suppose the Hays Office insisted on Rains developing a sudden conscience! Could they show competent white men and incompetent women/blacks/gays/whatever? The war saw,an inevitable rapid expansion of the armed forces and they had to take what they could get, so to speak Ironic that Arpaio.was himself convicted later! America tends to.overdo things- including jail.sentences. She was legally entitled to it.Society as a whole should take care of the poor who should be grateful in their turn. America is too hard on the poor and has too many workaholic money grabbers. I first saw it as a teenager. Thought it great then and still do at 65!
