Customer Reviews
Deserves better film quality
I loved the movie. If you are a fan of the Vidal book, you'll be a fan of the movie as it follows the book closely. Sam Waterson is great as Lincoln. One minor problem for me is his portrayal of Lincoln's hair- it was too stylish. Lincoln's hair was messy. Mary Tyler Moore is spot on for Mrs. Lincoln. As others have noted, the transfer to DVD is not in good quality, but the film is still very watchable simply for the movie.
Gore Vidal's Lincoln
Although Mary Tyler Moore is often thought of as a comedic actress I have found her dramatic roles show her true acting abilities. This is a remarkable miniseries. Sam Waterson's portrayal of Lincoln is scary - he is Lincoln.
lincoln
this was a good flim, if you want a good flim on lincoln get this one
Excellent Sam Waterston Performance
Virtually all correct historical quotes by Lincoln, based on his secretary's diaries.
Gore Vidal's research is the tops...
Richard Mulligan as Seward a pleasure to watch.
Not a bad t,v, movie
This was a T.v. movie in the late 1980's, long before Sam Waterston went into Law and Order. I love his Lincoln. He brings a quiet calm to the president, that I sure he needed while running the country and his wife.
And not enough can be said of Mary Tyler Moore's Mary Todd Lincoln. She played Mrs. Lincoln very close to the edge, which is what the first lady was for a long time. You can almost see the strain in both of thier faces and both of the Lincolns are push in seven diffent ways.
Lincoln has always been my favorit read in history, and this is my favorite movie dealing with the man and his times.
