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
Joan and Old Hickory
Fictionalized historic soaper about Andrew Jackson's friendship and protection of a young woman named Peggy O'Neal. Lionel Barrymore plays Jackson and Joan Crawford plays Peggy. The rest of the cast is pretty impressive. Melvyn Douglas, James Stewart, Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone, Beulah Bondi, and Louis Calhern....not a bad lineup. Too bad the movie is boring. Andrew Jackson's wife dies and asks Peggy to look out for him. Thus she becomes the unofficial First Lady, despite not being married to or even romantically involved with the President. Peggy has a somewhat scandalous reputation of her own, which reminds Jackson of his wife, who suffered at the hands of Washington gossips. Worth seeing for Lionel Barrymore alone. But the rest of the cast being what it is warrants you check it out.
