Its directed by Stanley Kramer the same director who directed Judgement at Nuremberg.

This is the final scene of the movie. So if you plan to watch this movie you may want to avoid this scene.

Here is the scene where Sidney’s character says that Joanna “feels that all of our children will be president of the United States and they’ll all have colorful administrations.” and he says that she is optimistic and that he will settle for Secretary of State. Spookily a child of an interracial couple who met in Hawaii is now the President of US.
