About The Rivalry
A television adaptation of the famous 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates, in which Abraham Lincoln did verbal battle with Stephen Douglas, his opponent for a U.S. Senate seat, over the issue of slavery.
Directed by Fielder Cook, The Rivalry leans on a strong ensemble — Arthur Hill, Charles Durning, Hope Lange — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1975.
