Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Abe Lincoln in Illinois is a 1938 play by Robert Sherwood. It is a study in the life of you-know-who, starting with Lincoln as a young man in his twenties in search of his destiny. He loves and loses Ann Rutlege, marries Mary Todd, overcomes a pile of debt incurred when his general store fails, and establishes himself as a lawyer and a politician. The third act of the play deals with Lincoln's famous campaign against Stephen Douglas for the U.S. Senate in 1858, then his campaign against Douglas again (and others) for the presidency in 1860. The play ends as Lincoln leaves for Washington to be inaugurated.In 1940 the play was adapted for film, with Raymond Massey, who originated the role on Broadway, reprising his part. Massey's deep, rumbling voice would for decades be strongly associated with Lincoln, despite the fact that Lincoln's real voice was quite a bit higher. The film was directed by John Cromwell.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })See also the film's Dueling Movies opponent, Young Mr. Lincoln, released the year before. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Abe Lincoln in Illinois (Theatre) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The film includes additional material, such as a scene with young Abraham living in his father's house, Abe piloting a flatboat on the river, and the true story of the time when he forgot the command to march his militia company single file. | |

The Alcoholic: In the first scene Lincoln tells his teacher that he's $1500 in debt because his partner in the general store drank all their whiskey and ran the store into the ground. Later, Lincoln's law partner William Herndon is drunk every time he appears. | |

As You Know | |

As You Know: "Ninian Edwards, eh! The Governor's son, I presume." The movie has lines like "Hello, Billy Herndon!" and "I wonder what the great Stephen A. Douglas has to say" to introduce characters. | |
