The President's Mystery (1936) MYSTERY

[@carolynlewis9019]

We Americans should band and work together like it use to be. When I was growing up, neighbors helped each other. If my Dad was still living he he would be pissed off from the political parties, burning down small businesses and all the lies being told. Thank you very much for the movie, love it and I'll watch it again.

[@petebondurant58]

My neighbors pelted me with rocks and garbage, and then stole my hot dogs.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

You should watch " Waking Ned Devine" hilarious 90's flick about a small village that pulls together over a lottery ticket.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

@@petebondurant58 why? When? Someone should have brought buns, another charcoal, another beans, cole slaw, etc...etc... and mustard? Can't forget the mustard! Everytime I had not so nice neighbors, a bar-b- que broke the tension. Even a day at the lake offering to share with the family next to you then they offer to share with the next family would cause a big group effort joining forces and sharing. Pretty soon someone would either bring out a guitar, or CD player, another a Frisby or ball and a party started? I guess I was fortunate. I believe most people are good natured, or want to be? If you have that attitude others fall into the same mindset. Sorry this befell you?

[@Soulful_Journey99]

Yeah! Those were the good old days,.... Except f/ those Black People who formed communities and did the same thing for their Own. Tulsa, Greenwood, Oscarville, etc. were ALL BURNED (some Flooded) to the Ground by Jealous folks who came from your kind of community and was ANGRY that the Blacks had their OWN & didn't need to BUY from Outside their community; especially from those who were Racist, Discriminating and Murderous.

good movie ive not seen before. good performances and i loved the ending 🎥🎥🎥🍕🥂

[@annapurna2389]

The Forward at the beginning of the film explains that FDR conceived the idea of the story. He shared it with a magazine editor, and a screenwriter wrote it. Thank you for sharing this. I'm 72 and never knew of this. I liked that the profits went to the Georgia Hot Springs Foundation where FDR received therapy & relief from the crippling effects of polio. I wonder why TCM never showed this?

Amazing, mystery story written by out President FDR, a fact that should be in his history. My Father would have found this fact very interesting . Wonderful story..., wonderful film.

Nice Auburn coupe at 02:35 , Pierce Arrow at 07:31 (headlamps on fenders), 1931 Cadillac dual cowl at 11:20 . Miss Brown drives a 1930 Ford, at 31:03 a 1929 or 30 Packard sedan is followed by 1936 Ford coupe and a 1920s Pierce Arrow bus. At 50:28 Roger arrives in a late T model Ford.

A good Depression era film. The workers against the underhanded capitalists. I can see the influence of Franklin Roosevelt. Henry Wilcoxon was a fine actor. Born in the Caribbean on the island of Domenica.

The butler did it! And did it right! This is the stuff big business said was "commie" in the 60s and 70s. Cooperatives were a good alternative then- and now!

[@DavidRice111]

All well & good, but what about our hero's theft & abuse of a corpse? That was a serious felony back then.

[@graemesmith6721]

Yeah, they kind of glossed over the fact that he committed a crime by bribing a morgue attendant to supply him with a body and then burning it up in his car.

[@hortondlfn1994]

I think Henry Wilcoxon looks just like Kevin Kline (at least, in this movie, and with that mustache).

He also looks like Fredric March.

It was the 1930s the capitalist had totally screwed up They were lucky FDR saved them from a potential socialist Revolution

[@amandawilcox9638]

@@deezynar It was a worldwide depression, worsened in the USA by speculators & our dust bowl years. Don't be simplistic.

[@deezynar]

@@amandawilcox9638 Thanks for mentioning that it impacted the whole world. Countries that did the least about it recovered the fastest. The U.S. was the slowest country to recover of those that were capitalist at the time. If you think this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue, you are mistaken. Hoover did all sorts of things in a vain attempt to mitigate the problems. Hoover initiated the policies that FDR expanded on. In other words, Hoover started the New Deal. Unfortunately, Hoover should not have gotten involved. He was lambasted by the Democrats for "doing nothing," but he was actually doing too much. If FDR had been even half as smart as he claimed to be, he would have done the opposite of what Hoover did because it was clear that it was not helping.

[@graemesmith6721]

@@deezynar Funny how we haven't had a depression since then. In fact, after the Great Depression and the subsequent creations of a welfare state, America became the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world. But go on, keep living in your conservative dream world.

Good movie and a good piece of propaganda. Hollywood hasn't changed a bit. They just use different causes today. I noticed Henry Wilcoxon with his moustache looks like a B&W picture I found of Kevin Klein with one.

[@kirkmattoon2594]

I see that Nathanael West, author of The Day of the Locust and Miss Lonelyhearts, has a screenplay credit on this movie. Wikipedia describes him as sporadically writing B pictures in this period. This one wasn't bad, given the odd circumstances of its inception.

I know I did not pay 100% attention to this movie which I had seen before. I paused and returned whilst handling a chore but I'm sure this movie was edited to this shorter version of 52 minutes from ninety or so minutes. Anyone else concur? FDR, wow-wee! What a Progressive thinker. He saved the country in many ways only for "Our Government" to screw it up by taking the towns, cities and states power's away and delegating the power to the Feds.
