Abraham Lincoln (1930)/The Struggle (1931)

  
Format:  Abraham Lincoln (1930)/The Struggle DVD 
 
 
First, pioneering director D.W. Griffith's first talkie is a moving, down-to-earth look at the life of America's 16th president, "Abraham Lincoln," from Lincoln's boyhood and his days as an Illinois lawyer to Washington and the turmoil of the Civil War. Walter Huston stars in the title role; with Una Merkel, Kay Hammond. Next, "The Struggle" offers the melodramatic story of a mill worker who drinks tainted "bathtub gin" that sends him on a downward spiral of alcoholic despair. Griffith's final film was seen as both a temperance picture and a condemnation of Prohibition, and was re-released years later as a comedy! Hal Skelly, Zita Johann, Edna Hagan star; co-scripted by Anita Loos. 186 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English; featurettes.
