David niven, ginger rogers, burgess meredith. This is the love triangle of dolly payne, james madison, aaron burr. A little united states history, told from dolly's point of view. Probably not the best choice, as it's all quite stuffy and stilted. Dolly spouts sayings, mottos, aphorisms all the way through. Burr is chasing after dolly, but she finds madison attractive. If you know murrican history, you'll know how it turned out! It moves pretty slowly... the script needed some zinging up. No real magic between all these stars, it's mostly fighting over political ideals. Slavery, north versus south. And apparently burr had designs on taking leadership of the united states by force, rather than by election. B meredith is quite lucid in this one. In some, he slurs and mumbles. It's okay. Directed by frank borzage. He had already won his two oscars already. Written by irving stone. He had also written lust for life, about van gogh.
