Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, 1939, 35mm, 100 mins)
Alex Horwath in person! Henry Fonda stars in a portrait of the future president as a young lawyer, defending two brothers on trial for murder in Springfield. “This just might be Fonda’s most spellbinding performance” (Dennis Schwartz). The first of seven cinematic collaborations between Fonda and Ford, Young Mr. Lincoln was cited by Sergei Eisenstein as the one American film he most wished he’d made! 35mm print from the Harvard Film Archive.
The “Five for Fonda” series features a selection of films starring or about actor Henry Fonda.
