"The President's Mystery" [Republic Pictures Sept 1936]
 | During a White House luncheon, F.D.R. wondered how a wealthy man could disappear yet take his wealth along. One of the guests, editor Fulton Oursler, enlisted several writers in answering that question, and the resulting book, though uneven, was a bestseller. The movie was B-budget, and the tale of the cartel lawyer who falls in love and decides to fight the cartel may sound hackneyed, but reviewers on IMDb opine that the plot moves right along and that the settings provide an accurate view of 1930s reality. Directed by Phil Rosen; story concept by Franklin D. Roosevelt; adapted by Rupert Hughes, Fulton Oursler, S.S. Van Dine, Nathanael West & others; starring Henry Wilcoxon, Betty Furness, Sidney Blackmer, Evelyn Brent, Barnett Parker, Mel Ruick & Wade Boteler
