Gabriel Over the White House
(1933)

A crooked President has a vision of the Archangel Gabriel and becomes a "benevolent" dictator. Among other things, he declares martial law, dismisses Congress, institutes major federal spending, and achieves American supremacy through military swaggering.

Sound familiar?

Rupert Murdoch's TV Guide gives it three stars. Check your local listings if you're not in the Eastern time zone.

It's a rarely-seen movie. TIVO or digitizing folks, can this be made into a VCD or MPEG? Let me know!
