Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMGM originally planned to have Jean Harlow star in this film.
- GoofsThey are singing "Wait for the Wagon" on the hayride, but it wasn't written until 1850. "America" and "Listen to the Mockingbird" were not written at this time either.
- Quotes
Daniel Webster: Well Miss Peggy, have you shaped any new political doctrines today?
Peggy Eaton: Ah Mr. Webster, I'm just an impressionable young woman.
- Crazy creditsPrologue: "This story of Peggy Eaton and her times is not presented as a precise account of either--rather, as fiction founded upon historical fact. Except for historically prominent personages, the characters are fictional. The city of Washington in 1823--heart of a country not yet a century old, not yet beyond an occasional growing pain."

Featured review
A very good film --honestly!!
Joan Crawford shines in this movie, despite what many of her detractors have said about her. I have read many articles about how she was not right in this role and that she was much better in contemporary films and not period dramas, such as this. But I will tell you that they are wrong. This is one very entertaining film and it holds your interest from beginning to end. Everything about this film is breathtaking, the sets, the costumes, the acting (not only from the leads, but also the minors), and even the make-up is very good. Just take a look at Charles Trowbridge and his likeness of Martin Van Buren--amazing!! This film has it all and this film puts another jewel in the Crawford crown of great acting!!
