Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
"The President's Lady" is a historical drama with Heston as Andrew Jackson and Hayward as his wife Rachel. Jackson marries Rachel after she divorces her unfaithful first husband, with scandal resulting when the ex-husband refuses to finalize the divorce. Jackson climbs up the military and political ladder, but Rachel is never socially acceptable due to her "tainted" past. Nonetheless, Jackson stands staunchly beside his wife, even fighting a duel for her honor. On the eve of Jackson's presidential election, Rachel dies, but "Ol' Hickory" takes comfort in recalling a marriage that remained happy against all odds.
The best sequence in 'The President's Lady' is a comic vignette which explodes the legend of the "pipe-smoking" Rachel Jackson..
