This nice movie is 75 minutes long but is quite nice. It shows a lynching mob and why it is wrong to jump to conclusions. Quite a decent piece of work, anticipating 12 angry men and Fonda's interest in playing a good guy. As it is based on some book, it uses a few contrived methods to get the message across, including a letter which supposedly is written by a lynched guy, but the text makes no sense in this context and is merely a device to get message across. Still, extra point for young and charismatic Anthony Quinn, who if he was not Mexican in real life too would surely overshadow Fonda as he certainly does in this piece of vintage moviemaking.
