I have yet to see the Steven Spielberg/Daniel Day-Lewis Lincoln film, just released.
However, I suspect it will be tough to beat my favorite film about the sixteenth president, Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940), and perhaps favorite film about any president in general. It is an oldie but a goodie, starring Raymond Massey. The story flows naturally and is gripping and historically thorough. Not many have seen it, but it is well worth a watch.
Excellent film. I have watched it several times. My wife’s family has a connection to Lincoln, The raft that Lincoln piloted down the river and merchandise on it belonged to one of her great great grandfathers. He was the richest man in the county with a net worth of over 2 thousand dollars!!
Impressive knowledge of cinema. Cool movie as well.
