Wellman political conspiracy war kidnapping crime thriller (this movie is completely forgotten, but it sounds fascinating!; it deals with the President of the United States wanting to keep the United States out of the European war, but Congress and American fascist groups are strongly in favor of him entering the war, and just when it seems that he has no choice but to do so, he is kidnapped, and the public, knowing he was opposed to the war, refuses to let Congress enter the war in his absence, and at the climax of the movie, it is revealed that he was never really kidnapped, but that he simply staged it to keep America out of the war!) starring Edward Arnold, Arthur Byron (in the title role as the President who stages his own kidnapping), Paul Kelly, Peggy Conklin, Andy Devine, Janet Beecher, Osgood Perkins, and Edward Ellis. Note that Rex Stout, two years before his famous Nero Wolfe character came to the screen in "Meet Nero Wolfe", wrote a novel called "The President Vanishes", and it was adapted into this movie!

Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
