Answer 9

The one where was accused of murder and it was his double, and they found out in time had me up to high doh.

Answer 10

I find Henry Fondas' earliest movies to be best. His attitude in the roles as he matured, seem to have hardened  him somewhat, and reflected his true personality.

   The Grapes of Wrath, made in 1940 about the Depression and the

great migration west in search of jobs and hope and harmony, is shown

in this movie about the complexities of living during that stress filled

period in our nations' history. The backs of the farmers were strong,

and their pride, willful. They knew when they were beaten, and one by one, chose to leave the dustbowls of their states and counties, to

go west, to find their lives renewed again. This movie reflects

that strength, and that hope that perservered. I feel it was Fonda's best. I loved the innocence on his face, and the hope in his eyes. The determination that was felt by all who lived that life so many years ago is truly felt in The Grapes of Wrath.

  The impact that the depression had on that generation carried through

to the next. It was a time that was engraved on the hearts of every

American living at that time and after. It's a time, that when reflected

upon, brings a look of sorrow to the faces of the generation that

followed. Once, they were children who saw the faces and hardship that their parents had endured now cried for their parents

long gone, remembering.

Answer 17

on golden pond..

Answer 18

On Golden Pond

Answer 19

In the end I came to hold Hanoi Jane against Henry... no matter how hard I struggled not to. That kind of ruined Henry for me.

Answer 20

A western with John Wayne. Henry played a mule headed rules and regulations cavalry officer who in the end led his men into a hopeless massacre. It could have been something like 'She wore a Yellow Ribbon."

Answer 21

12 Angry Men

Answer 22

Golden Pond. But his movies were all good.  He was one of the greats.  

Answer 23

Henry Fonda didn't ever star in a bad movie, at least not the ones I have seen.

I really do love "On Golden Pond" and I have watched it several times.

His co-star, Katharine Hepburn is on my favorite actress list.

This movie brought his daughter to see her father in a different light and softened the rift she had with him. (My opinion)

The only good thing about my failing memory is, I can watch my favorite movies and read my favorite books over and over again and enjoy them all over again.

Good question.
