Curiosidades
This was D.W. Griffith's first sound film. Abraham Lincoln (1930) was also the first sound film about the Civil War which veterans of that war could view.

In both the Union and Confederate parades, the musicians play trombones with forward facing bells. During the Civil War, the bells faced backwards.

Yes, it is bad, but...

I think it qualifies as a must-see film for all true scholars of the cinema. That is not to say that it is a good film. It is most certainly not. But this is really a perfect film in which to study the biggest change that this artistic medium ever experienced, the change from silence to sound. The whole film comes off as so, so awkward. It doesn't help that the script is awful. The film is actually over-ambitious, trying hard to cover the entire life of Abe, from birth to death. However bad Abraham Lincoln is, though, I myself found it more than watchable and always fascinating. 6/10.
