The Ox-Bow Incident (1943): Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn


     Directed by William A. Wellman, The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) is a powerful statement about the dangers of lynch mob justice, and it still resounds today over 70 years later. The story concerns a group of cowboys in 1885 Nevada, wrongly accused of murder by a mob, and hastily executed for the crime. The black and white cinematography is brilliant. The performances are extraordinary, including Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, Dana Andrews, Mary Beth Hughes, Harry Davenport and Anthony Quinn in an early role.
