Featuring as it does a charming performance by Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a series of humorous culture clashes between British royalty and American customs, a Rushmore reunion (Olivia Williams co-stars with Murray as Eleanor Roosevelt), and a sharp look back at FDR’s philandering as well as his hosting of the King and Queen of England in New York for a week just prior to World War II, the trailer for Hyde Park on Hudson is a winner.   Check it out below.
