D. W. Griffith's first sound film, from 1930, is as ungainly and majestic as its subject. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It is quite a worthy pictorial offering with a genuinely fine and inspiring performance by Walter Huston in the role of the martyred President. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Recommended solely for Walter Huston's performance.

Working with the sort of mythic material later associated with John Ford, Griffith gives us a primordial Lincoln, perfectly incarnated by Walter Huston, and a dreamlike sense of destiny that his camera fully articulates. Full Review
