| 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Best Lincoln Portrayal I've Ever Seen!, By Randy Martens (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Day Lincoln Was Shot [VHS] (VHS Tape) I purchased this video recently and have watched it TWICE now within the past 24 hours - it was so well done.Having read quite a bit on Lincoln in the past, I can tell you that this movie is very historically accurate - a rarity for Hollywood. The actors who portrayed Abraham Lincoln (Lance Hendriksen) and John Wilkes Booth (Rob Morrow) were absolutely outstanding in their performances. I would love to see more movies made like this dramatizing actual historical events - they educate and expand the mind, as well as entertain. If you're an admirer of "The Great Emancipator," then this video is a must for your collection. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful This Story is Both Gripping and Emotional, By A Customer This review is from: The Day Lincoln Was Shot [VHS] (VHS Tape) I read the book by Jim Bishop that this movie was based on and thought "this would be an awesome movie." I am generally extremely anti-made-for-tv -movie, but found this movie to be just as emotionally gripping as the book. While the movie falls a bit short in the details area, it packs a lot of emotional wallop in it's portrayal of the events that night. You WILL be moved to tears by the splendid soundtrack and tragic portrayal of one of the most infamous nights in World History. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful "Day Lincoln Was Shot" Television Masterpiece, By A Customer This review is from: The Day Lincoln Was Shot [VHS] (VHS Tape) During a trip to our nation's capital in March of '98, I visited the Ford's Theater in downtown Washington,D.C. There I became totally enthralled with the whole Lincoln assasanation conspiracy. About a month after I returned home, I watched "The Day Lincoln Was Shot" on TNT. It was the most fascinating movie I'd ever seen. It gave an account of Lincoln's and Booth's final days and humanized the often misunderstood assasin. Rob Morrow of "Northern Exposure" & "Quiz Show" fame portrays John Wilkes Booth, the young, talented thespian son of Junius Booth, one of the most famous actors of his time. Lance Henriksen plays one of America's most revered figures, President Abraham Lincoln. Morrow's excellent portryal of Booth shows a patriotic and spirited side of him that few people ever realize. The film begins with Booth galloping through the woods, trying to escape, and then being caught in a burning barn. From then on the film is shown in... Read more |
