Phil Rosen has directed with clarity and speed. His handling of the mob sequences has a certain kinship to Fritz Lang's more urgent, sharper work in Fury.

Far from being a partisan attack on a New Deal measure, [The President's Mystery] is a rather sensible drama about a millionaire lobbyist who gives up his evil ways and helps start the cooperative movement in this fair, or unfair, land of ours.

It all adds up to a topical mystery that may snare a lot of public interest at this time with entertainment qualities about average.

Naturally the picture, as made, must be more satisfying to the chief executive than if it adhered strictly to the original. Besides, the film is Interesting enough as it is.

It is stated by a popular magazine that our Chief Executive was responsible for the plot of... The President’s Mystery. If this be so, then he had a good idea and followed it up to the hilt. Nor did R-K-O leave him in the lurch.
