    5 The American people really admire violence. . . The script is not good. . . Relying on Fonda's shape, it took 100 minutes. . . Whoever says how awesome American law is is a...

    There is solid evidence for the last witness to perjury, but it is obviously insufficient to infer that he is the murderer because of his perjury. Fortunately, there are several good characters in this movie. Fonda's calm performance must be quite rare in that era when the film's means of expression were limited. The most chewy was the mother who refused to identify which son was holding the knife. I don't like Mr. Ford's movies, this one is not...

    Excellent performance. In the way of seeing the big from the small, I always think of the composition of primary school...

    I can't stand things with such a main theme. I liked the opening half an hour, but I lost my interest from the beginning of the city party. . . And that rural calendar stalk, fake. . . "Young" I still can't bear all the good humor that I "cooperated" with back then, too theatrical, I'm afraid... and the protagonist looking up at the camera too much, so admiring it, tsk...

    I think Ford portrays Lincoln as Sherlock. I believe that the real Lincoln is also so wise, but because he is a great man, I think it is a bit superfluous to add the label of a detective to him. I like to read, rational, and like to come up with a joke from time to time. It is said that I especially like halo jokes. Of course, the jokes in this film are not hazy. These well-known characteristics of Lincoln are...

    I finally read John Ford's "Young Lincoln" from the editorial department of the Film Manual. It's not just a powerful reading of the text, it is simply a violent...

    The film was criticized by the "Cinema Manual" as a typical case of ideology. The mob part was suspected of imitating "Fury", and the final ending seemed sloppy, and the murderer's reasoning was not admitted at...

Young Mr. Lincoln quotes

  • Abe Lincoln: [In the law office with feet up on desk, arbitrating a dispute] Now, it says here brother Hawthorne... that you owe brother Wooldridge fifty-five dollars and forty-seven cents board at the rate of a dollar and a half a week, you owe him ninety dollars for use of a team and wagon for eight months, besides one hundred dollars cash on a loan.

    Woolridge: [triumphant] Yeah...

    Hawthorne: [indignant] Well, I never said I didn't!

    Abe Lincoln: [scratches head, speaks slowly and methodically] Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator... but accordin' to my figurin'... you owe him two hundred and forty-five dollars and forty-seven cents. You're askin' two hundred and fifty dollars damages. Now, my idea is to split the difference of four dollars and fifty-three cents... which by a *strange* coincidence happens to be exactly the amount of my legal fee.

    [stands, speaks faster]

    Abe Lincoln: And the whole thing's settled! Well, what d'ya say?

    Hawthorne: [defiant] I won't do it!

    Woolridge: [defiant] Me either! I'll go to the law first!

    Abe Lincoln: [strolls between Hawthorne and Wooldridge, puts hands in pockets] Gentlemen... did ya ever hear about the time in the Blackhawk war when I... butted two fella's heads together? And busted *both* of 'em?

    [looks slowly from one man to the other]

    Woolridge: [sheepishly] Eh... well uh, I'm willin' if he is.

    [digs in pocket for money]

    Hawthorne: [indignant] 'Tain't fair... but I'll do it just to be shut of him!

    [digs in pouch for money]

    Abe Lincoln: Thanks, gentlemen. Ahh, that's gonna save us all a heap'a legal trouble... and headaches.

  • Prosecutor John Felder: I shall prove that they were under the influence of an alcoholic beverage at the time.

    Sam Boone: Hic!
