Andrew Jackson was one of our most complicated presidents, a fascinating combination of nationalism, populism and racism. And you get absolutely none of it from this cornball film and Lionel Barrymore's typically hammy performance, complete with tobaccy chawin. I mean, Jackson may have been from the back country but he was more William B. Travis than Davy Crockett, as shown here. C minus. PS...Is there such a thing as a plain hussy? Just asking.
