Show of the Week: Of Thee I Sing

on BBC Two England

by George and Ira Gershwin

It is the 1920s and Presidential Election Year in the USA. John P. Wintergreen's chances of being elected to the Presidency are slim, especially as he is unmarried.
A nationwide beauty contest is held, the winner to marry Wintergreen and become First Lady.
