Sam does a great job as Lincoln and I have to say I now picture this as being as Lincoln was.... Smart, witty and very quick and as he is portrayed in this film. I personally think this is Sam's finest work. The historical accuracy was well covered considering how much is lost with other shows and movies. Mary Tyler Moore did a great job and I think the film does the book justice which isn't always the case. I watch this at least once a year and I have to say it never fails to make me tear up a bit and make me feel glad to be an American. If you enjoy this period of our history I think you will enjoy it very much. There were important facts that were mentioned that are never in other movies or I think that most Americans don't even know. For example the fact that he had several losses close to him during his presidency. Covering many of the capricious fantasies Mary Todd had and much of the inner pain he endured while working through our countries issues. They cover much of his personality traits which are mostly ignored in similar movies. This is a great movie in this regard.
