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. October 21, 2008

lincoln

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. February 23, 2008

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. January 8, 2008

Great movie for President Lincoln fans

This a very personal view of President Lincoln and his relationship with his wife Mary. Sam Watterson and Mary Tyler Moore are at their very best! November 29, 2007
