Darryl F. Zanuck was one of the more progressive of the big studio moguls during Hollywood’s heyday, and his dream project had always been to make a film about the political career of Woodrow Wilson. Henry King’s Wilson fulfilled those expectations for Zanuck, but he was bitterly disappointed that the film wasn’t embraced more wholeheartedly by the general public. Still in the midst of World War II, America didn’t seem to want to endure a two and a half hour biography of the 28th President looking instead for entertainments that helped them forget the trials and tribulations of war rather than allowing the film to emphasize the parallels of the war principles Wilson espoused a generation earlier to what was going on in the world at that time.
