The Ox-Bow Incident (DVD)

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) starring Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, Frank Conroy, Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn. Well told story of a lynch mob in the old West, pursuing three men who have the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Only a few in the mob (including Fonda) have the courage to stand up to the majority and oppose a hanging without a trial. The story is very economically told in 75 minutes. The subtitles are pretty good. Grade: A
