took in our final evening of William A Wellman wellness 🙁 with a decent set of flicks focused on political menaces – 1948’s The Iron Curtain and 1934’s The President Vanishes
Curtain had two boring acts and then a very solid third one, with Soviets Dana Andrews & Gene Tierney deciding between serving their homeland and its ideals, or abandoning it all and defecting to Canada for a better life
Vanishes was about, you guessed it, a US President (Arthur Byron) who mysteriously disappears, during a highly critical time when a group of homegrown fascists are calling for war. Bottom image is of Peggy Conklin, who played the President’s secretary
