The film's message is resonant far beyond the moment of its creation, speaking even to our modern-day political reality.
Study of mob violence featuring early Spencer Tracy.
The DVD, part of Warner's Controversial Films (Advise and Consent, Bad Day at Black Rock). contained illuminating commentary from writer-director Peter Bogdanovich and interview with the film's genius helmer Fritz Lang.

Probing mass psychology and mob violence in a small-town, Lang's first American film, starring Spencer Tracy, expresses his pessimistic view of human nature that defines all of his American ones.
An important milestone in the career of one of the great directors of silent and sound cinema

Outstanding performances from Spencer Tracy and Sylvia Sidney help cement this 'wrong man'

I loved this movie, Tracy is an innocent man fighting for his life, and everyone wants to kill him! It's so exciting and suspenseful. A must see.
