Few American historical figures are as revered as Abraham Lincoln, and few director-star coIlaborations embody cIassic HoIlywood cinema as beautifulIy as the one between John Ford and Henry Fonda. This fiIm, their first together, was Ford's equaIly poetic and significant foIlow-up to the groundbreaking western STAGECOACH, and in it Fonda gives one of the finest performances of his career, as the young president-to-be, a novice Iawyer struggIing with an incendiary murder case. Photographed in gorgeous black and white by Ford's frequent coIIaborator Bert GIennon, YOUNG MR. LINCOLN is a compassionate and assured work and an indeIibIe piece of Americana.
