  • Michael Douglas and Annette Bening dance to the overture from "The King and I" in this poignant moment from the splendid 1995 film "The American President," written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Rob Reiner. This clip appears in my "Movie Music Romance" film history show for community colleges (2018-19).

    All Michael Douglas has to do is be his handsome, sophisticated self, but Annette Bening is able to channel and communicate what any "non presidential" lady would feel like when being wooed by a president. Fabulous movie, perfect scene.

    I love this movie and scene. The way everyone is looking and smiling. We as humans should cheer for others to be happy. We are sadly missing that these days. If I saw a widow/ widower I knew finally smiling and dancing, I’d legit be smiling like a fool. And the music brings tears to my eyes. 🥺🥺💜💜

      He wasn't glaring or mad that these two are having fun. He was scheming. He sees the political opportunity for Republicans. It's stated in the movie that when Shepherd ran for election, his opponents knew that personal attacks would backfire because he was a widow. But now, "the President has a girlfriend...."

    Tuvo buen gusto el Presidente Shepard, al escoger, como pareja, novia, futura esposa y Primera dama a Sidney Helen Wade, una mujer extremadamente bella y hermosa, que no solo le devolvió la confianza, el Amor y la seguridad al ya su novio, pareja formal y futura Primera Dama de los Estados Unidos, aunque al imbécil y retrograda Bob Robson, esa situación lo hiciera rabiar y bufar como bestia herida, por qué Sidney, era una pieza que no estaba para el contemplada en el juego del Poder Político de la Nación americana, y porque Robson sabía y perfectamente bien, que la participación política de Sidey en la contienda electoral sería un factor favorable en favor de la continuidad para un segundo mandato de Eduardo Shepard como Presidente de los Estados Unidos, y que Sidney sería un factor importante que impulsaria la reelección del todavía presidente Eduard Shepard

    I loved this movie for a long time...
    It saw it when I was a young person and it was magical and romantic and centered around politics, which interested me at the time.
    It would have been PERFECT if it has just stayed ethereal in its politics but it just had to stoop into REAL political agendas...which meant, as the older I get, the more I find the REAL political agendas in the movie to be revolting. The speech about "getting the guns" is straight political propaganda and it's like someone takes a hammer to your forehead and knocks you right out of your "suspension of disbelief" and makes you realize that the ENTIRE movie is just a well crafted political prop piece made by people who are (no so) secretly highly political in their activism and fundraising.
    It would have been nice to just have it be art...a film that anyone could enjoy. Once you are moved from the "I'm just watching a movie and it's a good movie" mode into "this really is just a prop piece at it's core" mode, it takes all the art completely out of it.
    When you look at how political the stars of this movie have now revealed themselves to be, you get the feeling that the whole thing was just a ruse. Mr Dreyfuss has been almost maniacal at times in his political activism and Ms Benning and Mr Sheen are also quite public about their political activism. Mr Dreyfuss was clearly pulling an "Archie Bunker", where Carrol O'Connor (who was a liberal Democrat) portrayed the people he didn't like to an extreme where they became a caricature. it amazes me, to this day, that people really have no idea that Archie Bunker was ALWAYS meant to be so over-the-top...being played by a man who really hated everything about the character and wanted to make those "bigots" look as ridiculous as possible.
    The movie was amazing, right up until the point it because ACTUALLY political instead of just being about politics.
