Omnibus: James Agee's Mr Lincoln and the Civil War



Royal Dano is fantastic as Lincoln
Royal Dano is Lincoln he gives an uncanny performance as a young Lincoln and also as an older worn out Lincoln Fine writing by James Agee and Direction by Norman Lloyd

Ominbus: James Agees Mr Lincoln and the Civil War
I was disappointed that it was a boiled-down version of the miniseries instead of the full version I remembered and was expecting.

It's okay if:
you like old black and white television from the early 1950's. Was hoping to see more of Joanne Woodward interacting with the Lincoln character, but you get very little of her. Its problem is the really old feel to it; as if a rehearsal is being filmed and it's not ready for the actual play!
