6/10
an old fashioned soap opera
7 January 2001
I first saw this weepy when I was 10 years old & except for Gene Reynolds (Jimmy Stewart as a lad) I was bored stiff, I have seen it about 5 times since & still cant take it as it is pure hokum. The last scene with a very over acted portrayal of Lincoln was & is still laughable . Beulah Bondi as the mother was her usual magnificent self, she excelled in playing older women. Both Huston & Stewart have had many many better roles.

A thumbs down for me.
