| Customer Reviews: Not A Documentary April 27, 2006 Bart (Montpellier, France) 12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I've ordered a few things from this company and most of them were historical documentaries so I sorta thought that this would be as well.
It's not - but that's not a bad thing. It's a work of historical fiction and its fairly well done. You get to see an interesting fictional interpretation of Lincoln - without a l ot of modern narative baggage.
The film is older - and looks it - but in some ways that adds to it's charm.
This is like the original version of the History Channel.
This classic historical film, fully restored on DVD by A2ZCDS May 2, 2006 Cassandra P. Breckenridge (Barre, VERMONT) 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
"After watching this classic rendition of Abraham Lincoln's most important years (Abraham Lincoln from A2ZCDS), I know for sure that such a life has not been before and will not be again. He WAS a man - a real man who felt love, joy, despair and hurt just like you and I do. This is more than a historical film - this is an immortal tribute to this country's greatest statesman..."
Very good overall movie July 10, 2007 Jonathan S. Friedman (Orlando, Fl USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Although not made as exciting as modern thrillers, this movie has subtle humor and historical points, which make this movie well worth taking in.
