- Synopsis:
- Sam Waterston and Mary Tyler Moore give wonderful performances in this moving adaption of Gore Vidal's best-selling book. The progress of the war is seen through Lincoln's eyes, a very human figure as he contends with Genera1s who won't fight and politicians who scheme to usurp him. His wife (Mary Tyler Moore) is driven to the edge of madness by the death of her son and her deteriorating mental health causes him great personal pain. But after a war more ferocious and bloody than anyone has imagined possible, Lincoln lives just long enough to see his vision realised before his life is cut tragically by an assassin's bullet.
