[Starring] Raymond Massey

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809. His early years are brought vividly to life in this absorbing biographical film based on Robert Sherwood's play.
Though reluctant, at every turn of his career, to accept advancement, Lincoln's moving anti-slavery speech wins him the highest office to which an American can aspire-President of the United States.

One of the strange things about the Galapagos Islands is the way in which fur seals and flamingos can be found in the same area, along with lava lizards, turtles, pelicans, sharks, shearwaters, dolphins, and sperm whales. Whilst swimming underwater Peter Scott and Tony Soper took some interesting shots of Galapagos sea-lions above and below the surface.
