El asesinato de un ranchero rompe la aparente tranquilidad de un pueblo del oeste americano. Ausente el sheriff, los hombres del pueblo deciden formar una partida para encontrar a los culpables... (20th Century Fox España)
Reseñas (3)
Un retrato relativamente breve, pero muy elocuente y emocionalmente poderoso, del deseo estadounidense de linchar, buscar chivos expiatorios y proyectar nuestra propia depravación en otras personas. Una película tan actual hoy como hace ochenta años. Y Henry Fonda está aquí en un papel reservado y poco convencional, pero tanto más impresionante en el final.

We are mean and tough but fair! Oh, what have we done... The bias of overly unsympathetic leaders is fabricated and unbelievable, and the contrast with the honorable Fonda is very unpleasant. Fortunately, Director Wellman did not stretch the simple plot to an unbearable extent and ended everything on time, so there is no threat of a disaster, but otherwise, this morality is just a weak imitation of everything I have seen on the subject of justice.

Another wonderful example of how deep a western can be. In fact, it is one of the first ones that showed that western is not just about shooting and beautiful women. Henry Fonda is the star, but there are other brilliant characters here. When Anthony Quinn starts playing, you immediately see that this is truly someone. Great twist, but even better is the overall execution of the "trial." It's just a pity that at that time the depiction of violence had to be so mild. Some scenes literally called for it, and I think it would have enhanced the whole experience even more.
