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.

[Starring] Cec Linder, Joan Sims with Isabel Dean and John Barron
Joe Hunter is a scientist living two lives: one as he sees himself, and the other as the world, sees him. The story spans the years from 1917, when he was a young pilot in the Royal Flying Corps, to the present day - when the man and his ideas come into headlong collision.
