RE: Lincoln Assassination Movie Depictions
In his movies,John Ford always had a wonderful disregard for the truth. In ""Young Mr Lincoln" he moved the Almanack trial to the period before he married Mary Todd.

Ford told a biographer that he contemplated one further historical inaccuracy in YML but did not film it. In one scene Lincoln would walk past a Springfield theater whose poster advertised a performance by John Wilkes Booth!!!
