Among the most masterful matchups of actor and role in screen history is this stirring film of Robert E. Sherwood's beloved play taking a thoroughly human look at the early years of our 16th President; with all his frailties and strength of character. Best Actor Oscar nominee* Raymond Massey (who originated the role on stage) wonderfully plays the future Great Emancipator in a chronicle of his backwoods childhood through his first romance with Ann Rutledge (Mary Howard) to his phenomenal rise to President Elect; besting the great orator Stephen Douglas (Gene Lockhart). Ruth Gordon also does memorable work as driven; ambitious Mary Todd Lincoln; whose vision of Abe's leadership destiny will not be denied by anyone -- including her often reticent husband. There's also no denying the enduring emotional power of this simple; magnificent movie.
