Fictional US Presidents in Movies, with Richard Klein

Feb 6 Thur, 2:45 – 4:00

There have been several movies – good ones at that! – portraying fictional characters living in the White House, and a few trying to get there. Kisses for My President is a surreal (for the time) account of the first woman president. The American President has Michael Douglas trying to charm and court a lobbyist, the delightful Annette Bening. Air Force One deals with the hijacking of the president’s plane. That’s just to mention a few. The session will have lots of clips and peeks into some really entertaining stories – some funny and some quite serious. It’ll be an enjoyable and interesting class with Richard at the helm – or projector! He’s an amateur historian who has spoken at CL&L several times about presidents and their families.
