When Orson Welles was asked who
the three greatest film directors are he responded John Ford, John Ford
and John Ford.
I saw another film directed by John Ford - Young Mister Lincoln (1939), a historical film about the early life of president Abraham Lincoln.
The film is full of beauty and poetry. It is slow and intelligent. Henry Fonda is superb in the role of the young Lincoln. He perfectly shows a laid-back, shy, inexperienced lawyer who cares for people, truth and mercy.
