Abraham Lincoln (1940)
L’irrésistible ascension d’Abraham Lincoln, modeste menuisier du Kentucky devenu président des Etats-Unis. Outre l’étonnante ressemblance de l’acteur Raymond Massey avec Abraham Lincoln, cette œuvre dresse l’un des portraits les plus réalistes du grand homme sans faire l’impasse sur ses faiblesses, ce qui lui vaut souvent d’être considéré comme le film de référence sur le sujet.
