I will be returning to the Port Washington Public Library, on Friday, April 5th, to discuss, and then screen the 1939 John Ford film, Young Mr. Lincoln, starring Henry Fonda as the (then) future President, in his early years. This is part of a Abraham Lincoln exhibit and series of lectures and presentations, being sponsored by LIU:C.W. Post. It is interesting to note that Henry Fonda was reluctant to portray the role of Abraham Lincoln, since he thought it was like playing God. John Ford had to use some colorful lanugage to persuade Fonda into reconsidering, and taking the role of Lincoln. This film would lead to many film collaborations between Fonda and Ford, including The Grapes of Wrath, My Darling Clementine, Fort Apache, and others. This program, which begins at 12:10 at Port Washington Public Library, is part of the library’s “Sandwiched In” lecture series.
