Now on DVD for the first time, Young Mr Lincoln marked the first collaboration between Henry Fonda and legendary director John Ford; a relationship that was to see them working together on classics such as My Darling Clementine and The Grapes of Wrath. A brilliant biopic focusing on the early years of Abraham Lincoln, Young Mr Lincoln stars Fonda as the man who would go on to become one of the key figures in American history, in a performance which many consider to be his finest.

The film follows Lincoln as he leaves his small-town beginnings in a Kentucky cabin to start practicing law before eventually agreeing to go into politics. Fonda claimed that playing Lincoln 'was like playing Jesus Christ', and he brings amazing depth to the role in a film that has gone on to take its place in Hollywood history.
