PBS American Experience – Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided (2001) Part 3: Shattered
English | Documentary | Size: 532 MB
More has been written about Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln than any other Americans, and yet, A House Divided is the first dual biography. The film follows the couple from their strikingly different childhoods in the South to their years in the White House. It uncovers their public ambitions and their private fears. It paints a vivid picture of a complicated marriage, of a couple who loved each other passionately, quarreled intensely, and who were frequently forced to mourn. And it describes the impact of Lincoln’s brutal assassination on the nation and the sanity of his wife.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin (Napoleon, Truman, FDR, LBJ, TR, The Story of Theodore Roosevelt), A House Divided weaves stunning and evocative original cinematography of battle scenes and White House dinners, of cabinet meetings and shopping sprees with beautiful daguerreotypes and photographs to create a vibrant sense of America in the mid-19th century.
Part 3: Shattered
