Gabriel Over the White House (1933)

Gabriel Over the White House is a Depression Era, pre-Code, political fantasy about a divinely-inspired president who establishes a dictatorship in order to cure society’s ills. The 1933 film was the brainchild of William R. Hearst and benefited from the comments and support of president-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. Directed by Gregory La Cava and based on the novel “Rinehard” by Thomas Frederic Tweed (un-credited), the film starred Walter Huston, Franchot Tone, Karen Morley, and C. Henry Gordon.
