It was a great movie and I was glad to see that it had shots showing lots of tapestries and fabrics. Mary Todd Lincoln was obsessive about buying fabrics, lace, etc and ended up in serious debt with her overspending. I had recently learned of a great scandal involving Lincoln and the Union Pacific transcontinental railroad. Google Crédit Mobilier scandal. I was glad that they didn't bring any of those up and also that they didn't do a gruesome death scene like so many productions tend to like. I mean, if you can't trust Honest Abe, who can you trust?
