...default of dramatic momentum, Director Joshua Logan soups up the melodramatic attitudinizing-soulful head clutchings, venomous spittings-in-the-face, and caged-animal stage stalking. Only in the last act does one scene come alive with fury and clarity. Diana Sands, a cool, sexy hustler who has worn the body-and-soul-for-sale sign longer than the tiger, proposes marriage to him.

It is directed by Joshua Logan and produced by Leland Hayward. In tribute to the pulling power of those names, Mr. President has already sold nearly $2,000,000 worth of tickets and will probably run up an advance of $2,500,000, pushing Camelot ($3,000,000) as the most presold production of all time.
