Shout by Tony Bates

The Ox-Bow Incident 1943

Nice and tight, at under 90 minutes, although it comes at the expense of a ton of characterization, especially given how many characters there are in the central posse. I like this better than 12 Angry Men, both because frontier justice is personally more interesting than the jury system, but also because of the downbeat ending. Great performance by Dana Andrews in particular.
