The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • January 22 - 28, 2023 BEST HENRY FONDA MOVIES "Jezebel" (1938) Sort of a "Gone With the Wind" without the same exact characters, this well-regarded drama casts Bette Davis as a willful Southern belle who wants to retrieve the man she let get away (Fonda). "Young Mr. Lincoln" (1939) This John Ford-directed view of the young Abraham Lincoln did much to advance Fonda's profile. "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940) A milestone in American movies, director John Ford's version of the John Steinbeck novel hinges largely on Fonda's moving portrayal of Tom Joad, the next generation of a Depression-era migrant family. "The Ox-Bow Incident" (1942) A potential lynch mob is at the heart of director William A. Wellman's famous Western, with Fonda as one of the men who wants to see true justice done in the case of a farmer's possible killers. "My Darling Clementine" (1946) Stories of the Old West continued to hold appeal for Fonda as he teamed yet again with director John Ford by playing Wyatt Earp, who becomes a lawman in his quest to find those responsible for the death of one of his brothers. "Fort Apache" (1948) John Ford called the shots for Fonda again – as well as for John Wayne, Shirley Temple and others – in this signature Western about opposition between the commanding officers at a military outpost. "Mister Roberts" (1955) Fonda re- created his Broadway performance in the title role as a Navy officer having his own war with his ship's captain (James Cagney) while stationed in the South Pacific during World War II. "12 Angry Men" (1957) Also serving as producer, Fonda mounted a classic by turning a television play into a movie vehicle for an outstanding ensemble cast as the members of a deliberating jury in a murder trial. Turner Classic Movies shows the film Sunday, Jan. 22. "The Best Man" (1964) Gore Vidal's play made a fine screen vehicle for Fonda and Cliff Robertson as highly dissimilar rivals for a political party's presidential nomination during a very eventful convention. "Yours, Mine and Ours" (1968) Fonda is pleasingly comfortable in the fact- inspired comedy about a widow (played by Lucille Ball) and a widower who marry and merge their big broods of children, much to the kids' displeasure. "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968) A notably vicious Fonda, playing a hired killer in the Old West, was a highlight of "Spaghetti Western" director Sergio Leone's much-admired epic. "On Golden Pond" (1981) The climax of Fonda's big-screen career came with his Oscar win for this moving adaptation of Ernest Thompson's play about a couple in their twilight years, produced by Fonda's daughter (and co-star) Jane and also marking another Academy Award victory for Katharine Hepburn.
