Plot: 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.
Alternative Plot: The 16th U.S. president (Walter Huston) is portrayed as a lawyer, orator, husband and Civil War commander.
