President Abraham Lincoln is remembered in history for his role in emancipating enslaved people, but this biopic directed by John Ford focuses on the young Lincoln during his time as a lawyer. When he first entered society in Illinois, he had no clear vision for his future and once prayed silently at his girlfriend's grave, yearning for guidance. He eventually decided to pursue a legal career and took on a few defense cases, but went largely unrecognized. It wasn't until he became involved in a case where two friends' sons were accused of murder that Lincoln's intelligence and bravery began to draw attention, leading him to rise in prominence. The film employs a rigorous studio production style that highlights its theatricality, with rising star Henry Fonda delivering a deeply compelling portrayal of the protagonist. It stands as one of the outstanding Hollywood films released in the same year as "Gone with the Wind."
