Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Tim Blake Nelson, David Paymer, Cynthia Nixon
Factual error: In the early scenes of the movie, before Franklin Roosevelt contracts polio, he is seen dancing with his private secretary to a recording by Alice Faye of the song "I'll See You In My Dreams". The song was not written until 1924, more than a year after FDR contracted the disease, and Alice Faye did not record it until 1939.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Don't talk to me as if I were a child.
Eleanor Roosevelt: How am I supposed to talk to you?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Like I was.
Eleanor Roosevelt: I don't know how to, any more.
