I was pleasently surprised when this was suggested on Netflix after The Ditch Digger's Daughters. But this was such a heart warming and cool story.
I think it just gets overlooked due to the historical time period, in which, it takes place. The 1910s to 1960. A middle lady looks at jobs in the want ads and suddenly become a very valued employee for the different presidents and their wives.
Eventually, the single mom gets her daughter and son involved with working at the White House. There's alittle bit of friction between the son coming back from WW1 and taking White House supplies to feed the poor.
I was susprised, but glad that the film focuses on the maid or assistant's skills and how important she becomes to the staff. It's less about race and more about politics and keeping peace.
I think that they should make an updated version almost as a sequal to The Butler. Both films are very interesting historical looks on different presidents and how they navigated the American public.
