The story of Andrew Jackson and his wife, best remembered for being bigamous. Charlon Heston plays Jackson in his typical dogged, conscientous way. Ditto Susan Hayward as is lady love. Slavery and Indians are dealt with as you'd expect, i.e. mostly ignored - Hayward has a black maid.
The story constantly has Jackson going away, which isn't that interesting. Look, this is fine. Acting fine, treatment fine. Lacks fire. I didn't care for the characters. Might be different for Americans with more of a connection to Jackson.
