Movie Reviews of Abraham Lincoln (1930) [Remastered Edition]Movie Review: Not A Documentary Summary: 5 Stars
I've ordered a few things from this company and most of them were historical documentaries so I sorta thought that this would be as well.
It's not - but that's not a bad thing. It's a work of historical fiction and its fairly well done. You get to see an interesting fictional interpretation of Lincoln - without a l ot of modern narative baggage.
The film is older - and looks it - but in some ways that adds to it's charm.
This is like the original version of the History Channel.
Summary of Abraham Lincoln (1930) [Remastered Edition]Brief vignettes about Lincoln's early life include his birth, early jobs, (unsubstantiated) affair with Ann Rutledge, courtship of Mary Todd, and the Lincoln-Douglas debates; his presidency and the Civil War are followed in somewhat more detail, though without actual battle scenes; film concludes with the assassination.
