An episode from Lincoln's early law career.

Sinekatalog’s take

John Ford's portrait of Lincoln as a young lawyer is simple, folksy and quietly powerful. Henry Fonda is perfect, and the mob and murder trial scenes make an elegant mix of myth and drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
