Saving Lincoln

Directed by Salvador Litvak

With Tom Amandes, Lea Coco, Penelope Ann Miller, Bruce Davison and Creed Bratton

The almost entirely true story of Abraham Lincoln and his self-appointed bodyguard, U.S. Marshal Ward Hill Lamon - a banjo-playing Southerner who foiled repeated attempts on the President's life, and kept him functioning during the darkest hours of the Civil War.
