 Just another William Wellman masterpiece. September 22, 1999
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
When you place this film in the context of the time it was made, it becomes even more powerful. The country was in the grasp of the "Red Menace. We were placing Asian-Americans in what were nothing but glorified concentration camps. For William Wellman to make a movie dealing with the dark side of humanity and mob actions required enourmous courage. The reason it flopped was due to Americans having to look in the mirror and not liking what they saw. Great performances from a cast that included Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan.

Very good movie, with a good moral message. Henry Fonda is a great actor and shows nothing less in this movie. A must see for a Henry Fonda and/or western fan.

A tense, hard-hitting drama about the ignorance of mob justice, as relevant to the treatment of black people in the twentieth century South as to the nineteenth century western frontier. Fonda is superb as Carter, chief dissenting witness to the event, and both Dana Andrews and Anthony Quinn are compelling as two of the condemned men. Nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, this is a top western from one of Hollywood's most seasoned directors. Don't miss it.
One of the best westerns I have ever seen October 18, 1999

I thought that this film was wonderful. The cinematography was phenomenal and very effective. Dana Andrews and Anthony Quinn give impressive performances, while Henry Fonda proves (once again) why he is one of the greatest actors ever. The film makes a grave statement about the mentality and morality of an angry mob. The results of this anger, is disasterous and truly sad. I highly recommend this film.
I've never forgotten this film! September 23, 1999

I saw this movie in a film history class in college. That was 8 years ago and I can still remember how it kept me on the edge of my seat. I usually don't get caught up in the emotion of films. Especially Westerns. But this film was different. I highly reccommend this to any Western lover. By the way, I dislike Westerns-so that must say something for this movie.
