Magnificent Doll DVD Ginger Rogers David Niven (1946)
First lady Dolly Madison (Rogers) who is wooed by dynamic Aaron Burr (Niven) before she decides on marrying quiet James Madison (Meredith) and pushing his political career to the office of the presidency. Director Frank Borzage and star Ginger Rogers both came acropper in the lavish historical biopic Magnificent Doll. The usually ebullient Rogers seems encased in wax as Dolly Madison, first lady of the United States in the early 19th century. The story begins as young Washington socialite Dolly Payne, previously and unhappily wed to one John Todd (Horace McNally), can't make up her mind romantically between idealistic politician James Madison (Burgess Meredith) and firebrand Aaron Burr (David Niven). Burr solves that problem when he flees the country after killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel, leaving the field clear for Madison.
