i try twice to get through this film and succeed the first time and it be like pull teeth and fail the second time despite a great dvd transfer . the problem . it simply too boring . if you can get to the dramatic courtroom scene and which take up most of the second half of the film and you have it make and but it tough get to that point . there be some interesting talk by abraham lincoln ( henry fonda ) during the trial . the end be touch a lincoln walk off and they superimpose his memoral statue over the screen . it a nice story and well act and such . but it lack spark in the first half and discourage the viewer from hang in there . i suspect the real abe lincoln be a lot more interesting than this film .
