- Synopsis:
- Abraham Lincoln was D.W. Griffith's first foray into the realm of 'talkies'. Following the life, loves and tribulations of Abraham Lincoln (Walter Huston), including his career as a lawyer, the film also includes his successful run for Presidency, the second term in office and his assassination at the Ford Theatre. Often perceived as an eccentric by his contemporaries, Lincoln moves through each cataclysmic event with an almost saintly calmness and grace.
