STATE OF THE UNION
Written by Rod Lurie

is a remake of the Frank Capra directed STATE OF THE UNION based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse. This political-themed movie originally starred Spencer Tracy as an idealistic industrialist who is drafted to run for the presidency. As a candidate, Tracy is caught between the ruthless ambition of newspaper heiress (Angela Lansbury), who pulls the strings of his campaign, and the integrity of his wife, (Katharine Hepburn), who believes in the man behind the political facade.
