The Man from Texas (1948)
Tobias Simms is torn between his criminal career as the masked bandit named the "El Paso Kid", and the life of a law-abiding citizen with his long-suffering wife.
Oddly schizophrenic premise stretches this Western's credibility a bit too far: otherwise, it's standard genre fare.

Abraham Lincoln (1930)
An episodic biography of the 16th President of the United States.
A bit slow and undramatic, this biopic does offer some brilliant cinematographic sequences; and Walter Huston is superb in the title role.
Haliwell**: "Rather boring even at the time, this straightforward biopic has the virtues of sincerity and comparative fidelity to the facts."
Maltin**1/2: "Huston is excellent in this sincere but static biography of Lincoln; can't match Griffith's silent masterpieces."
