"Abraham Lincoln" (1930), also known as D. W. Griffith's 'Abraham Lincoln', is a biographical film directed by D. W. Griffith, starring Walter Huston as Lincoln and Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge. Co-written by Stephen Vincent Benét, the film portrays Lincoln's early life, presidency, and assassination. While accurate in portraying Lincoln's early years, later scenes contain historical inaccuracies, such as depicting the Lincoln-Douglas debates as arguments about secession. Despite its flaws, the film has gained recognition as one of the definitive portrayals of Lincoln. Notably, it includes little-known aspects of Lincoln's life, such as his romance with Ann Rutledge and his struggles with depression. Although initially not successful, "Abraham Lincoln" has earned a place in film history and is now regarded with more appreciation.
