1939. Directed by JOHN FORD. TAGLINE : \"THIS, TOO, WAS LINCOLN!... A young man known only as a jackleg lawyer who wrestled with the boys, spun funny stories, was in love! This is his story...the story that has never been told before!\"- A dramatized account of the early life of the American president as a young lawyer facing his greatest court case. Ten years in the life of Abraham Lincoln, before he became known to his nation and the world. He moves from a Kentucky cabin to Springfield, Illinois, to begin his law practice. He defends two men accused of murder in a political brawl, suffers the death of his girlfriend Ann, courts his future wife Mary Todd, and agrees to go into politics. Academy Award OSCAR Nomination for Best Original Story Writing. CAST includes Henry Fonda, Alice Brady, Marjorie Weaver, Arleen Whelan, Eddie Collins, Richard Cromwell, Pauline Moore, Spencer Charters, Donald Meek, Eddie Quillan, Ward Bond, Milburn Stone. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : John Ford and producer Darryl F. Zanuck fought an extended battle over control of the film. Ford even had unused takes of the film destroyed so the studio could not insert them into the movie. One scene that Ford insisted on cutting was a scene where Lincoln met his future assassin, a very young John Wilkes Booth. Henry Fonda originally turned down the role of Lincoln, saying he didn\'t think he could play such a great man. He changed his mind after John Ford asked him to do a screen test in full makeup. After viewing himself as Lincoln in the test footage, Fonda liked what he saw, and accepted the part. He later told an interviewer, \"I felt as if I were portraying Christ himself on film.\"
