Henry Fonda's high-pitched voice also approximates the historical Lincoln's voice. The trend at the time was to play Lincoln with a deep, declamatory, solemn voice. Fonda bucked the trend and used his own voice, which happened to be historically accurate!

I have to say Henry Fonda is an Idol.  He was born with this gift and they made him look SO MUCH LIKE our President Lincoln it was excellent.

I am fond of Henry Fonda's depiction of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln is a very caring and loving man and that surely makes a difference.

This was an incredibly good movie and Henry Fonda was a perfect Abraham Lincoln.

I think Henry Fonda had Lincoln’s voice down pat. Lincoln was said to speak in a high-pitched Kentucky twang, and not some deep, godlike voice that many people think he had.

The two best Lincoln portrayals are Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln (2013) and this. Nothing else compares thematically and historically. Thank you for uploading

I have enjoyed this movie since I first saw it. 55 years ago. I will watch it every so often just to remind me what storytelling is.

Definitely a John Ford movie. Such subtle nuance
