Abraham Lincoln, 1930

Two heads in profile before red, cream, blue.

What

A 1930 United Artists one-sheet for Abraham Lincoln, an American biographical film.

Why

D. W. Griffith directed it, the first of his two sound films, with Walter Huston as Lincoln and a script co-written by Stephen Vincent Benét.

Notice

Three bands of red, cream and blue rise behind the heads, and the foot reads "Adapted for the screen by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET".

“Griffith's first talking picture”
