The Gorgeous Hussy is a 1936 American period film directed by Clarence Brown, and starring Joan Crawford and Robert Taylor.

The film's plot tells a fictionalized account of President of the United States Andrew Jackson and an innkeeper's daughter, Peggy O'Neal.

Peggy is outspoken for a woman of her time, and when Tennessee senator Andrew Jackson visits, she affectionately refers to him as "Uncle Andy."

On the night of their marriage, "Uncle Andy" hears a commotion in their room, and can't believe that Beau and Peggy are married.

At the same time, Jackson is elected U.S. president amid a campaign of verbal attacks aimed at his wife Rachel, whom he inadvertently married before her divorce from her first husband was final.

Finally, Peggy, who knows that even Jackson's kind lie will not lead to her acceptance in Washington, asks him to send John Eaton as the special envoy to Spain where she knows that they will find contentment.

Howard Barnes in the New York Herald Tribune noted "In the title role Joan Crawford is handsome, although century-old costumes do not go well with the pronounced modernity of her personality.

She makes of Peggy Eaton a straightforward and zealous figure....[A] show that is rich with trappings and accented by moments of moving intensity."

However, writing in The New York Times, film critic Frank Nugent thought there was "not enough hussy" in the performance, and wrote "Miss Crawford's Peggy is a maligned Anne of Green Gables, a persecuted Pollyanna, a dismayed Dolly Dimple.
