Dishonest Abe

Young Mr Lincoln (1939)

Starring: Jimmy Stewart, Donald Meek Directed by: John Ford Rating: NR Genre: Drama Other

Review First off, Abe Lincoln was born in a log hut in KENTUCKY, not Illinois! Did the Chicago machine get to Mr. John Ford? If so, then why did Hollywood's "spin" doctors try to claim our second greatest president was a republican? Jimmy Stewart tries. Oh, he tries. But there's only so much he can do under fifteen pounds of wart makeup and a stovepipe hat that looks like it's about to spew acid rain over much of the Mississippi basin. Somebody needs to put on the dunce cap and stand in the corner with his back to the classroom.
