The Ox-Bow Incident is one of the essential Westerns, directed by William Wellman. A study of the effects--and aftereffects--of mob violence, this film (based on a true story) begins with the murder of a popular rancher. Angry townspeople form a posse, find suspects, and, without waiting for a trial, summarily hang them in an expression of biblically tinged frontier justice. But the one cowboy who tried to turn the mob aside ultimately proves that they executed innocent men. Made in 1943, the film features stunning black-and-white cinematography and a solid dramatic sense about what a deadly combination ignorance and self-righteousness can be. Fonda made this film between The Grapes of Wrath and My Darling Clementine, at a point when he was at the peak of his powers as a young actor. --Marshall Fine

Just watched it. Loved it. Very short and to the point. It reminded me a lot of 12 Angry Men. I see this "mob mentality" happen in small groups all the time.

This was the last movie ever nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture which received no other Academy Award nominations.

I thought this was an interesting piece of trivia.

I used to live by "The All-New Oxbow" on Apache. Never went in. But, it later became Murphy's Irish Pub, where I had many a great time.

...by "many," I mean almost nightly. By "great," I mean it's not suitable for a PG-13 board.

Great show! Did I recommend this to you? If I didn't I should have.

Didn't know it used to be called that. I used to live one mile from there.

Nope, you've been slack'n lately.
