The President

(1961)Directed by Henri Verneuil110 minDrama

At 73, Émile Beaufort (Jean Gabin), a former President of the French Council, sits down to write his memoirs and goes back over a long political career. Henri Verneuil keeps Beaufort at his desk, working through the men he dealt with, among them Philippe Chalamont (Bernard Blier), the younger figure now set to become the next President. Beaufort still has the last word on how his own record will read.
