Curious western for what it is about and for spending everything in one day. Interesting moral dilemma

Nice and tight, at under 90 minutes, although it comes at the expense of a ton of characterization, especially given how many characters there are in the central posse. I like this better than 12 Angry Men, both because frontier justice is personally more interesting than the jury system, but also because of the downbeat ending. Great performance by Dana Andrews in particular.

I really liked this, despite my general aversion to overly didactic morality tales. What really impressed me about this movie, depicting the formation of a lynch mob and following it through to the conclusion of their mission, was the breadth of its ensemble cast and its ability to craft storylines for so many people with VERY little screentime. The cast is so good (Dana Andrews as the innocent man, Leigh Whipper as the Reverand, Jane Darwell as the lone woman, etc.) throughout and it turns what might otherwise be a paint-by-numbers into something with a lot more depth. Fairly shocking, down-beat ending which is usually a plus in my book.

Shocking movie, I would suggest everyone watch this. Reminds me of Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities and mob mindset
