Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)
Member Rating:  
John Ford's fine direction distinguishes this highly fictionalized account of the early life of Abraham Lincoln. The film shows Lincoln (Henry Fonda) as he rises from a country boy born in a log cabin to a lawyer in Springfield, Illinois defending two young men unjustly accused of murder. The film, produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Screenplay" for its screenwriter Lamar Trotti. Henry Fonda perhaps the most American of actors, is at his best playing Lincoln as the quintessential, compassionate American hero. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

    You won't get the big movie feel from an old black and white movie but it is very interesting to see the clothing and the way movies were made. Very watchable. It doesn't show much of Lincoln's life but it does show his style. If you like old movies this is one to see. Raymond Burr is played by Doc Adams on Gunsmoke.
