I loved this movie! I'm a history nut & love old black 'n white movies. I'm especially fond of period peices so this was right up my alley. It was Henry Fonda's first film! He looked so young! The railroads, pioneers heading west in covered wagons, a dentist pulling teeth for $1.00 a tooth after you drink enough to numb the pain, men singing old historic songs, the Opera, the County Fair, Indians, Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, and the Eerie Canal are ALL in this movie. The only part I didn't like was Janet Gaynor's who played Molly. She has a munchkin voice that irritated me and Molly was so mean to poor lovable Henry Fonda.
