‘Young Mr. Lincoln’

Director John Ford’s somewhat fictionalized 1930 biopic covers two years in the early life of Abraham Lincoln (Henry Fonda), as he moves from the Kentucky log cabin where he grew up and begins his law practice in Springfield, Illinois. Fonda originally declined the title role, convinced he wasn’t up to playing such an iconic American, until Ford filmed a screen test with the actor in full makeup. Alice Brady, Marjorie Weaver and Arleen Whelan also star in the film, which salutes Fonda as TCM’s star of the month. 5 p.m. on TCM.

‘Kajillionaire’

Writer-director Miranda July brings her typically offbeat style to this 2020 crime dramedy that benefits from an unusually strong cast, headed by Evan Rachel Wood as an emotionally stunted 26-year-old whose con-artist parents (Richard Jenkins, Debra Winger) treat her less as a daughter than a convenient accomplice to their petty scams. This dysfunctional family dynamic becomes even further frayed when a stranger (Gina Rodriguez) joins their gambits. Mark Ivanir, Patricia Belcher, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Diana Maria Riva co-star. 8 p.m. on MAX.
