Synopsis

Silent film master D.W. Griffith's first talkie works as a companion piece to his classic BIRTH OF A NATION, providing a detailed biographical sketch of the 16th president. We see his birth in a log cabin, the tragic death of his first love, Ann Rutledge (Una Merkel), his debates with Douglas, his accepting of the presidency, the terrible toll of the Civil War, and finally the tragic assassination at Ford's Theater. Griffith shows his usual meticulous attention to period detail, and the framing of the various vignettes has the feel of historical photographs come to life. Walter Huston is excellent in the title role, with a portrayal that subtly evolves from laconic, wizened rascal to noble elder statesman. This is a fascinating, worthy film, and an interesting historical document in and of itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Lincoln, 6 Aug 2004
By Jeffrey A. Nix "J.N." (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sure, this is an old and at times static, film. But it is a good achievement in early sound movies. Huston makes a fairly effective Lincoln. It was a hopeful start for Griffith in the realm of sound films. It is unfortunate that this was his next to last film.
