Sommario/riassunto |
|
Despite a wealth of biographical material, relatively few full-length motion pictures have taken Abraham Lincoln and his life as a primary subject. In this detailed study, Brian J. Snee provides a sweeping overview of the cinematic representations of the sixteenth president from the silent era up to Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (2012). |
