Studio-bound (it looks like a 50s TV film), but powerful

one of the saddest movies ever produced

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.

...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.

One of the top movie westerns.

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.

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