Continuity mistake: When they are arguing in his bedroom, her scarf and coat are closed at one point, then open, then closed.
The American President (1995)
Plot summary
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Michael J. Fox, Martin Sheen
The widowed President of the USA invites a woman he likes (Sydney) to a state banquet. They fall in love, but the press turns it into scandal and the opposition leader uses it as an excuse to run down the presidents character. He will not defend his private life to the world and his popularity at the polls plummets. He then loses the love of Sydney when he is forced to get the environment bill that she is campaigning for thrown out (and her fired as a by-product) to defend his own crime bill.

President Andrew Shepherd: She's questioning your loyalty.
Lewis Rothschild: Hell, I question it all the time.
Question: I have a question about the scene where Sidney receives the ham from the President. At the theatre I believe someone read the note aloud, but my video cut that part. Does anyone know what the note said?
Answer: You are correct; in early versions of the movie, Leo reads the note out loud but has been cut from other versions.
Answer: Sydney mouths the words to the note and laughs, but she doesn't say the words outloud.
