It should tell you something that this was among Orson Welles' favourite films
May 14, 2008
It holds up as the best anti-lynching film ever made.

Were it not for the horses, the script as filmed could easily be performed on the stage as a three-act play.

Packs a pretty incredible emotional punch in its brief 75 minutes.

...the movie suggests we had better look to doing the right and decent thing before we act on a majority decision made in the heat of the moment.

Apesar do final que soletra a mensagem do filme, é um western atípico, denso e, principalmente, corajoso para sua época.

One of the first probes of mob lynch, Wellman's grim, uncompromising expose was critically acclaimed but failed, perhaps because it was released during WWII, when viewers wanted more escapist entertainment
October 22, 2003
one of the saddest movies ever produced
January 05, 2004
One of the top movie westerns.
August 21, 2002
Studio-bound (it looks like a 50s TV film), but powerful

In contrast to the familiar Western device of the hero obliged to take the law into his own hands… a grim, messy cautionary tale about vigilante justice and mob rule.
