本片是美国默片时期的名导演D·W·格里菲思晚期拍摄的传统电影，手法平铺直叙，但相当忠于史实。 沃尔特·休斯顿扮演林肯示有精彩的演出；尤娜·默克尔的表演也不俗。

Movie

Edgar Allen Poe (1909)
Edgar Allen Poe WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
大卫·格里菲斯 actor: Herbert Yost / Linda Arvidson …
other title: 埃德加·爱伦·坡 / Edgar Allan Poe …
Short, seven-minute film on the life of Poe (Herbert Yost) sees the author suffering as the woman he loves his slowly dying. Poe goes out to try and sale his stories but ends up getting rejected. You'll notice that the writers name is misspelled in the title and according to the notes on the DVD, historians believed this was the fault of Biograph who rushed this out to capture crowds on the celebration of Poe's centenary birthday. As for the film, it's pretty good as long as you know what not to expect. Those expecting a full bio will be disappointed but Griffith handles the seven-minutes pretty well and delivers a quick and by the numbers picture. Yost does a very good job as Poe and what's shocking is how much they look alike.
