Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address from the movie Saving Lincoln savinglincolnmovie 2013-02-17 | "Tom Amandes as Lincoln, recites the Gettysburg Address, not in booming, this-is-a-great-speech style, but casually, as if chatting over dinner. The approach elevates the words." - New York Times'Saving Lincoln' is the true story of Abraham Lincoln and his close friend, Ward Hill Lamon, featuring sets created from actual Civil War photographs.Own the DVD, Blu-ray or digital version today: http://www.savinglincoln.comWhen Abraham Lincoln (Tom Amandes) is elected President, he brings only one friend to Washington: his banjo-playing, pistol-weilding law partner, Ward Hill Lamon (Lea Coco).

Lamon is not present on the fateful night at Ford's Theatre in 1865 because Lincoln sends him on a mission, yet it is Lamon who redefines that tragic event in a surprising and uplifting manner.
