Adventure in Baltimore (1949)

In 1905, teenaged Dinah Sheldon is an aspiring artist and budding suffragette. This is sufficiently scandalous, though her minister father takes a more lenient view. But her imaginative painting, showing a young male friend with exposed chest and (ahem) limbs, really blows the roof off.

The plot to kill Lincoln as he passed through Baltimore on his way to Washington D.C. to be inaugurated in 1861 is in no way historically doubtful. This incident, called "The Baltimore Plot" by such well-known Lincoln scholars as Mark Neely Jr. ("The Abraham Lincoln Encyclopedia") is an historical fact. Certainly, the details presented in the movie may themselves be historically doubtful – but not the plot itself.
