It holds up as the best anti-lynching film ever made.
05/14/08
One of the first and best probes of mob lynch, Wellman's grim, noirish, uncompromising expose was critically acclaimed but failed with the audience, perhaps because it was released in the midst of WWII, when viewers wanted more escapist entertainment

...the movie suggests we had better look to doing the right and decent thing before we act on a majority decision made in the heat of the moment.

Studio-bound (it looks like a 50s TV film), but powerful
08/21/02
One of the top movie westerns.

Packs a pretty incredible emotional punch in its brief 75 minutes.

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) is a grim, low-budget Western masterpiece from director William A. Wellman - based upon the famed novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark

Were it not for the horses, the script as filmed could easily be performed on the stage as a three-act play.
