The story begins in 1909, a time when Wilson (Alexander Knox) is best known as the head of Princeton University and the author of several books on the democratic process. Urged into running for Governor of New Jersey by the local political machine, Wilson soon proves that he is his own man, beholden to no one-and that he is dedicated to the truth at any cost. As the U.S. is going through a progressive change in national politics and a split is developing in the opposing Republican Party, Woodrow Wilson is nominated in Baltimore and wins the Presidency in 1912. He pushes through a series of programs, called 'The New Freedom'. As World War I is breaking out in Europe in 1914, President Wilson tries to keep the U.S. neutral. At this same time, his wife Ellen dies of bright's disease. Overcome with grief and loneliness, the President, carries on. Early in 1915, at around the same time of the British trans-Atlantic passenger steamer Lusitania sinking, he meets Edith Bolling Galt, a Washington D.C. widow. A courtship develops and they find themselves in love and are married in December 1915. The next year of 1916 brings The President to reelection to a second term, Many feel that he is going to be defeated, and the result is so close that the balance hangs of the returns from California , which goes for President Wilson. As, he starts his second term, the war finally comes to America, The Zimmerman note (Mexico and German alliance) is enough finally to put the U.S. in the war. The Yanks are coming and in 1918 victory is on the side of the Allies. President Wilson travels to France to have a hand in the Peace treaty, but many Republican senators, Henry Cabot Lodge, feel the President is leaving them out of the process and make a decision to kill whatever treaty he brings back or saddle it with reservations. President Wilson takes the issue to the people in a multi state tour, but his health is broken on the trip and days after returning to Washington, has a stroke Edith shields the President and screens visitors, and takes on a role that is controversial. But President Wilson recovers enough to make an orderly transition to President Warren G. Harding in 1921

Box Office

Critical

Though the film was mostly critically acclaimed and won five Oscars (see below), it is also remembered for being a big financial failure at the box office.

Film critic Manny Farber was particularly unenthusiastic, calling the production "costly, tedious and impotent" while writing: "The effect of the movie is similar to the one produced by the sterile post-card albums you buy in railroad stations, which unfold like accordions and show you the points of interest in the city ... The producers must have known far more about the World War, the peace-making at Versailles, and Wilson himself, but that is kept out of the movie in the same way that slum sections are kept out of post-card albums ... About three-quarters of the way through, a large amount of actual newsreel from the first World War is run off and the strength of it makes the film that comes before and after seem comical."

Awards

Despite the negative press and lackluster box office, it was still nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning five:

• Best Art Direction-Interior Decoration, Color (Wiard Ihnen and Thomas Little)
• Best Cinematography, Color (Leon Shamroy)
• Best Film Editing (Barbara McLean)
• Best Sound, Recording (E. H. Hansen)
• Best Writing, Original Screenplay (Lamar Trotti)

Its remaining nominations:

• Best Picture
• Best Director (Henry King)
• Best Actor in a Leading Role (Alexander Knox)
• Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture (Alfred Newman)
• Best Effects, Special Effects (Fred Sersen and Roger Heman Sr.)

The film was notable for giving character actor Alexander Knox (in the title role) one of his few chances to play the lead in a film.

American president Franklin D. Roosevelt showed the film at the September 1944 Second Quebec Conference with British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill. Churchill was unimpressed, however, leaving during the film to go to bed.

Despite being a pet project personally overseen by 20th Century Fox Studios' president Darryl F. Zanuck (who greatly admired Woodrow Wilson), its failure at the box office upset him to the point that for years he forbade his employees from mentioning the film in his presence.

The film is sometimes shown on cable television, and was first broadcast on Turner Classic Movies on February 8, 2013.

The Academy Film Archive preserved Wilson in 2006.
