Bummer wants to acknowledge Sal Litvak’s journey into a seldom explored
character in Lincoln’s life. Most know Lamon’s association with the president, but few may be familiar with the journal.

Thanks,
Bummer

Good afternoon, Harry. As one of the very few to have already seen Saving Lincoln, and as a friend of its writer, Mrs. Nina Davidovich Litvak, I can report that your opinion was heeded. A proposed scene was dropped, and replaced by another based on the stereograph of Mrs. Judith Henry’s despoiled house at Bull Run. (http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/cwp2003000012/PP/)

And here is the part that would have tickled Mr. Lincoln most: it was only AFTER the photograph was chosen that the filmmakers learned of Mrs. Henry’s name, which amazed them because Nina’s mother is named…Judith Henry!

Oddly, Tom Amandes, who plays Lincoln, is one of my favorite actors. And Creed from The Office plays Charles Sumner because why not? This could be entertainingish.
