One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Young Mr. Lincoln”
Young Mr. Lincoln (1939): “Great men often don’t realize their potential until history provides them with a moment to do so.”
Notes: Really a film about director John Ford’s love for America during the depth of the depression. Message: We can and will be a great country again. Seems naive and schmaltzy now but it spoke to me.
Seen as part of the AFI 400 quest.
