Another Schick Sunn Classic films presentation, directed by James L. Conway, this time about a possible government conspiracy involving the assassination of U. S. President Abraham Lincoln, well played by John Anderson. And Bradford Dillman playing his assassin John Wilkes Booth (no doubt about his guilt is there?!)
Film suggests that Booth was used in a bigger conspiracy than history has recorded, and certainly I don't remember this from my history books! Nonetheless, I found this picture interesting, well-acted and directed, presenting its speculative premise with conviction, though not in the same league as "JFK"(1991) of course, but I wonder if a young Oliver Stone was inspired by it!
