"Though a critically acclaimed,[6] Oscar-winning film, Wilson is remembered for being a huge flop at the box office. It was a pet project of Darryl F. Zanuck, who greatly admired Woodrow Wilson, and its failure upset him to the point that for years he forbade his employees from mentioning the film in his presence.[5] The film is sometimes shown on cable television, and was first broadcast on Turner Classic Movies on February 8, 2013. Franklin D. Roosevelt showed the film at the September 1944 Second Quebec Conference with Winston S. Churchill. Churchill was unimpressed, however, leaving in the midst of the film to go to bed."
