Rating:  - PUUUUULEEEEEZZZZZZ..!
How this turd won an oscar for screenwriting is beyond me. The guy preaches, and preaches, and preaches, then becomes president, then preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, becomes a widower, preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, remarries, preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, and preaches, then leaves office. The End.
Rating:  - A Lost War
This film is beautifully shot, and for that I give it two stars. One star for the storyline. The acting is competent.
Woodrow Wilson the man is an interesting study, and no doubt influential in his day and deserving of study today. This film, however, is not a worthy historical analysis of the President or of the times in which he lived. This production is a propaganda piece intended to shape the attitudes of Americans during the SECOND World War, the one that Wilson hoped would never ... Read More
Rating: - Some great propaganda
If you want to see some great disinformation, then get this film. It is so far removed from reality that it is almost brillant. Wilson was easily not one of our better Presidents.

Rating: - An invitation to better histories of this important era
Lavish biodrama on the life and times of President Woodrow Wilson (and therefore the US's involvement in the First World War, which traditionally is called the Great War, of course, and in its time and for some years was called The World War). This film seems to be getting discovered lately, though it has been available on tape since the 1980s. Some of it is even accurate, no small thing for a 1940s biodrama dealing with human complexities. Alexander Knox in the title role is differently shaped and ... Read More
Rating: - LONG Bio Of American President
Alexander Knox stars as Woodrow Wilson, beginning at his time at Princeton, moving on to his time as Governor of New Jersey, and of course, concluding with his important years as President. I can't say that Wilson was the most compelling man, although his dry wit is fun, but he was around during WWI and the creation of the League of Nations, so he was important and those events help to keep the film interesting. Knox is very good as Wilson, and he is surrounded by a large supporting cast that does well. ... Read More
