THE PRESIDENTS MYSTERY

Cinemavixion Review

Phil Rosen's 'The Presidents Mystery' presents a compelling narrative of a millionaire seeking to escape his unraveling personal life for a fresh start. What sets this film apart is its unique historical footnote: it is the only known instance of a sitting U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, receiving a writing credit for a motion picture. The film benefits from the performances of Henry Wilcoxon and Betty Furness, and is further elevated by a notable musical score from Oscar nominee Hugo Riesenfield, whose work graced films like 'Make a Wish,' 'Hells’ Angels,' and 'Abraham Lincoln.' 'The Presidents Mystery' offers a fascinating blend of drama and historical curiosity.
