VHS Movie Reviews of Ox Bow Incident
Movie Review: A Classic.
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was made in 1943 and stars the young Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan. Dana Andrews stars as does a very young Anthony Quinn. The performances here are very strong, especially from Fonda, Andrew and Quinn. Harry Morgan was the same in 1943 as he was in Mash in the `80's. I was particularly surprised by Dana Andrews; he was very effective as the rancher about to be hanged. I had always thought of him as a kind of lightweight but this film changed my mind.
It was easy to see the future stardom of these three actors from the film. The film itself is a western, but not your usual kind of western. This one is very dark and for the era, not very romanticized. These were real cowboys living the dangerous life of the frontier and some paid the price with their lives.
There was very little law and order and even less justice.
I can recommend this film strongly especially for the serious amateur of films around this time. I wasn't even born yet!
Summary of Ox Bow Incident
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 FineWesterns VHS Video
