Kisses For My President (1964)

A woman (Polly Bergen) makes history when she is elected as the first female President of the United States. However, her husband (Fred MacMurray) is less than enthusiastic as the first male "First Lady". Directed by Curtis Bernhardt (INTERRUPTED MELODY). Boy, is this one dated in the worst sense of the word. The movie is filled with silly jokes about MacMurray being the "first lady" like when he sees his White House bedroom, it's all girly and frilly. MacMurray's grouchiness about his wife being so busy and not having time for him makes me wonder. Didn't they ever discuss the ramifications of her presidency on their marriage prior to her running? The two sitcom kids the movie has saddled them with doesn't do the movie any favors either. The movie's sole interest is the archival look at how "we" viewed the prospect of a woman president in 1964 and it's pretty degrading. With Eli Wallach, Arlene Dahl, Edward Andrews, Norma Varden, Donald May, Eleanor Audley and Ahna Capri.
