"The Hanging Tree" doesn't work as well as it should. It has a pretty good story and nice location photography. There are also a few nice moments here and there but, overall, the movie isn't that satisfying. A big problem is the casting of Maria Schell and Ben Piazza. Neither of those two are very interesting. Their roles are too important and neither of them are up to the task. "The Hanging Tree" is heavy on melodrama and light on action. I won't be be revisiting this movie anytime soon.
