If Hang 'em High hit the spot, these will too

Western built on grit, twice over
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Hang 'em High does

Gritty drama in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: lynching
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

The same hand behind both of them: Ted Post
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Hang 'em High does


Both keep coming back to the same thing: judge


Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

One thread runs through both: falsely accused

The same preoccupation in both: prison
