Gabriel Over the White House (1933)
Executive Branched
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Directed Gregory La Cava (My Man Godfrey, Stage Door), Gabriel over the White House is a classic example of pre-code Hollywood getting away with all kinds of depression-era madness. Walter Huston is the new president of the United States. He's having a ball until he gets into a car accident and, when he comes out of a coma, he's a changed man. (Has the angel Gabriel taken over his body?) He declares martial law to stop homelessness and cajoles the leaders of every country in the world to destroy their militaries. Karen Morley plays the president's personal secretary who tries to keep a lid on all the craziness.
