This is impressively directed and acted by Spencer Tracy.The trouble is that the plot is farfetched.Usually when people are angry enough to take the law into their own hands it is because someone familiar to them is the victim.But the kidnap victim is not from this town.Yet people get so angry that they burn and blow up one of their own public buildings to get someone against whom their is not only no real evidence but has not been accused of doing anything to one of their own.This is pure insanity
