I saw this the other day on Turner Classic Movies and thought it was quite good. State of the Union is a Frank Capra movie about political corruption. Spencer Tracy plays a successful industrialist. Kathryn Hepburn is his estranged wife. Angela Lansbury (in her pre-Mrs. Fletcher era when she played marvelously evil women--see The Manchurian Candidate for another great example) plays the publisher of a chain of newspapers that schemes to make Tracy President. All this and a comedy too. Highly recommended.

Of course not quite as funny as the version I saw on television last night.
