		Lincoln is successful through a substantiated defense: due to a moonless night, the witness testifying against Lincoln's client couldn't have seen the murder committed.
		Indeed, Lincoln's early success, as seen in the film and in histories of his early life, was based on the fact that Lincoln was part of this system, and, prior to the death of Anne Rutledge, a bit of a scalawag, himself.
		Abraham Lincoln's life is highly unusual in itself, being self taught in a log cabin by candle light, becoming a lawyer and trying over a thousand cases in his life prior to becoming President and leading our country through the most difficult period of it's existence.

		Ford's film is almost a Parson Weems like reinvention of Lincoln as a folk hero and legend and the young Fonda, lanky and awkward, is perfectly cast as the young backwoods sage.

		In the movie, for instance, the mother of Lincoln's clients is required by the law to choose which of her two sons she will see executed.
		Here he is on the weaker side of a "tug 'o war" at the fair; he cleverly rescues victory from defeat by hitching his side's end of the rope to a passing wagon heading in the opposite direction.
		Of course, the central scene in the movie is Lincoln's famous cross-examination of a hostile witness in which he uses the Farmer's Almanac to show that moon was dark at the time the witness said its brightness allowed him to identify Lincoln's client.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| John Ford: Young Mr Lincoln
		Young Mr Lincoln was about the early life of Abraham Lincoln, his love for Ann Rutledge, which ended tragically, his decision to become a lawyer and his first trial, in which he successfully defended two brothers on a murder charge.
		The film is based upon the fact that everyone who watched it knew who Lincoln was and was designed to show that, even as a young man, there was greatness in him.
		But Young Mr Lincoln's craftsmanship is what looks classic now, as does the potent quality of its myth-making, mixing with flawless skill the comedy of the Pie Judging and Tug of War contests in small-town America with the tension of Lincoln's speech from the prison steps to the Springfield lynch mob.

		Lincoln.'' As did the Massey film, it concentrated on Lincoln's Illinois years, but Fonda's Lincoln was one of lassitude and melancholy.
		He, too, was able to capture the rustic qualities of Lincoln; but he was only a minor character in the series and never had a chance to develop a full portrayal.
		However, all I remember of Waterston's Lincoln is a wild head of hair, an irritating voice, and a performance which managed to be both studied and antic at the same time.

		Less a biopic than a hagiopic, ‘Young Lincoln’ doesn’t have a lot in common with the actual early life of the 16th President of the United States.
		Lincoln’ is the embodiment of America’s own idealised self-image; simultaneously wise and innocent, unsophisticated but intelligent, sentimental but holding within himself the capacity for violence if necessary.
		This radical stance and his determination to translate into reality his vision of an America that was both equal and united, engendered four long years of bloody civil war and, ultimately, his assassination at the hands of a far-right bigot.

		But the central focus of the action is Lincoln's law career, the climax of which is a successfully argued murder trial.
		Fonda's physical resemblance to Lincoln is striking, and he embodies him in speech and manner as well; though much of the plot is no doubt fabrication, one feels that this is exactly how Lincoln really walked, gestured, and spoke.
		The screenplay captures Lincoln's simple, straightforward moral values, and Fonda's moving speeches foreshadow his later "justice"-oriented parts (such as his Juror #8 in 12 ANGRY MEN; a certain detail of the climactic trial will also remind you of the later movie).

		In both Young Mr Lincoln and A Few Good Men, the inexperienced trial lawyers risk all by attempting to force a confession out of a mere witness whilst giving evidence and again resort to a series of 'showy' and ostentatious tricks.
		Interestingly, this omnipotent notion of the lawyer is reflected in the mythical portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in the classic law film Young Mr Lincoln.
		At times, this mythical Lincoln is portrayed as superhuman, seemingly a god with the power of life and death and marrying physical strength with cerebral agility.

		It became a case study of that cahiers-du-cinema notion that a particular director's films had an auteurist notion behind them - Ford given the same treatment Alfred Hitchcock was (Francois Truffaut changing the view of Hitch - the shift from entertainer to auteur).
		Even the sometime caustic critic Pauline Kael described 'Young Mr Lincoln' as "one of John Ford's greatest films." Master Soviet-filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein ('The Battleship Potemkin', 'October')said of it, "Its source is a womb of popular and national spirit.
		'Young Mr Lincoln' comes across as an old-fashioned entertainment, but also sits easily alongside the somewhat subversive nature of such films as 'I Was a Fugitive from a Chain Gang' & 'Sullivan's Travels' (the latter also reissued on DVD recently).

		But one can argue that this is Ford's attempt to vindicate the overstuffed legend of Lincoln, to make everyone renew their belief in the impossible ideals he embodies, because these ideals, as ridiculous and impossible as they may seem, are still worth striving for.
		but then you get the breathtaking moments of quiet with Lincoln looking out at the river, reflecting on his lost love, and he really becomes a three-dimensional human being, and an emotionally heartbreaking figure at that.
		Lincoln does not so much carry out the laws of American civilization as translate them into an idiom that his countrymen can relate to, one that underscores certain moral imperatives and gets others to care deeply about them -- which is exactly what Michael Moore has done for our generation!
