Young Mr. Lincoln
Young Mr. Lincoln
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.

Story of a young folksy common-sense lawyer with a penchant for justice and equality, portrayed by the perfect actor. Tragedies and politics may await, but the molding of the man, who would one day save the Union, does not. Good early Lincoln film.
