| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyInspired by facts, LeRoy has made a powerful tale of mob violence |
| User ReviewGreg Wthis movie gets 3 stars plus an extra star 4 the film debut of lana turner and what a debut thru this movie she became USA's sweater grrl! |
| User ReviewMatt H88/100. Wow, what a powerful story and so very far ahead of it?s time. A very unusual film to come out of 1937. I could see it being made 10 years later, or in the 1960's perhaps. Impressive direction by Mervyn LeRoy, Claude Rains is just amazing and gives a very strong performance. Excellent style, superb screenplay. The film creates such a vivid and intense atmosphere and it is so thought provoking. Notable also for the early appearances of Lana Turner and Elisha Cook Jr., both of whom are very memorable. The film is very engrossing throughout and quite unforgettable. I very ignored classic that surprisingly doesn't have more of a following. |
| User Reviewcody fPowerful and unorthodox film about a northern man accused of the murder of a young girl in a southern town.The film alludes that he is innocent, but never reveals if he is or who may be the guilty party. It mainly is about newspaper men and politicians using the trial for personal gain. They use the prejudice of north vs the south to fuel the trial into a media circus.The film opens with 6 old Civil War veterans talking about how once they are gone people will forget about the line between North and South, but the film shows that people will never forget. At first it seems like southern bashing, but after awhile it's both sides that are equally guilty. Great direction by LeRoy with a great script. Everyone in this film is a bastard except the accused and his family and the victims family. The ending is great and it leaves the viewer to decide what they think, very unusual for a Hollywood film made in the '30's |
