The approach is conventional, almost school-bookishly historical. In the producers' effort, often successful, to make a recognizable human being from the cryptic figure of Lincolnian anecdote, the audience is never allowed to forget that this human being was also the Savior of the Union. It is not the approach an artist would take; in taking it Director David Wark (Birth of a Nation) Griffith was thinking first of the boxoffice...
