1939 is universally accepted as the greatest year in Hollywood history, with more classic films released than in any other, and John Ford directed three of the best, "Stagecoach", "Drums Along the Mohawk", and this beautiful homage to frontier days and a young backwoods lawyer destined to eventually save the Union, "Young Mr. Lincoln". "Young Mr. Lincoln" is a truly remarkable film, from an amazing year!

Henry Fonda is always terrific--TY!

By any measure, this is a great film. You can admire it for Ford's artistry and intuitive understanding of his subject, probably more evident in this film than in his better known works. Or you can marvel at Henry Fonda's acting skills and his total empathy with his character. This is method acting, ten years before it was invented! Even better, just sit down and enjoy it, for the first time of many.

Makes for a great evening when watched in tandem with Spielberg's Lincoln. Henry Fonda is surprisingly touching as the young Lincoln. It is sentimental and at times cloying but there is something of the disarming charm of Abe in every frame.

John Ford is probably not the classical director most easily understood by contemporary audiences, and this is probably not his most easily understood film... But, fellas, lo and behold the strange beauty of the images, the richness of cultural citations and connotations: this is the american cinematic mythmaking at its best; no wonder that the critics of Cahiers du cinema, in their radical phase, chose it as an exemplary Hollywood film. If you like classical Hollywood, biopics Henry Fonda or Ford, you shouldn't miss this one (although it's hardly a "typical" ford film).

It is not one of Ford's best films, but it's a beautiful masterpiece nonetheless. That tells you how much better Ford was to any other director on this planet. About that time he also did 'Tobacco Road', which I like even better, and it's about country folk too. The interest of this story is obviously centered in one character, Lincoln, played by Henry ford. So you notice that to build up that first ingredient into a fully fledged movie is going to be a challenge. Well, Ford succeeds wonderfully. We get to love his characters, even the mean type, the murderer in the story gets some pity from us. That's how wonderful Ford was, he hated sin but not the sinner. The story is all about young man Lincoln at the time he decides to take up law, and his first steps in this business, which get him into a case. The case, a murder, takes three quarters of the film, and the success of Ford was that he lifted the story -dignifying it- even above the main character, Lincoln; he made the story shine by itself, gloriously, so Lincoln works around the story and its other characters and not the other way round. The folk are treated respectfully, as I said, which doesn't mean there's no humor, of course there is, and plenty. As much as there is tenderness, love, family ties, friendship... It's a cocktail of emotions. Ford is about humanity, which includes the bad and the good within it, one cannot be blamed without blaming the other, as they are both part of the same human heart. Ford just encourages us to realize this inner battle, to discern what is good from what is evil within us. Ford is not like the rich city dweller teaching country folk how to be civic and liberal; he is one of us, no better and no worse. Like Jesus, he doesn't throw the first stone either. So why should anybody else? I love Ford's films. They are so rich in humanity, so unpretentious, so close to the real people, the working people, to the humble. His films are so often called poetic because simply no one can show hope, love, tenderness, friendship, loyalty, honor, courage, mercy and kindness better than him. He is no Pharisee, Ford. Take the scene of the lynching for instance. Is Ford spiteful of the wild crowd? In that scene I saw myself portrayed as one of the crowd, just as Ford meant it to be. Only Lincoln stands up to the occasion and brings the mirror to our faces. Any one who would consider himself better than any in the lynching crowd is worse than the murder in the story himself, that's my consideration. Because his pride and self-righteousness will never let him see his own sin and repent.

Un ritratto del giovane Lincoln, dalle origini contadine alle prime esperienze come avvocato. Ford riesce a trovare un difficile equilibrio tra il dover render conto della grandezza incipiente del personaggio e il pericolo di cedere a tentazioni agiografiche. Così, se da un lato ne mette in luce le qualità umane - tenacia di auto-didatta, comprensione per gli umili, buon senso pratico, ironia, coraggio, sagacia ed eloquenza-, dall'altro ne sottolinea l'innato carisma politico, così lontano da calcoli e astuzie, che lo porta a conquistare l'amore della gente e già lo proietta in una dimensione mitica (memorabili in tal senso le scene finali, quando Lincoln viene acclamato e quando si avvia solitario sotto il temporale). Sullo sfondo, come silenziosi e fondamentali assi portanti della storia, un amore perduto tragicamente, il cui ricordo spinge Lincoln alla ricerca del proprio destino, e l'amore per la natura, alle cui radici di semplicità e di forza Lincoln resta emblematicamente legato. Grande film, in cui Ford, come è tipico della sua arte, riesce a toccare le corde del cuore senza sconfinare mai nella retorica. Grande prova per Fonda -con naso finto-, uno degli attori simbolo di Ford.

Good performance from young Mr Fonda too. If you love john ford style of westerns than this will appeal to the western fans. This film brings to you to the state of the slavery and the Civil war.... Was this film historical correct or a piece of fiction?? it certainly entertaining.
