Selected by Steven Krams
Gil Carter (Henry Fonda, My Darling Clementine) and Art Croft (Henry Morgan, Dragnet) ride into a town frustrated by the prevalence of cattle rustlers. Suddenly, word comes that a popular rancher has been murdered, pushing the already enraged town over the edge. When the spiteful mayor forms a posse, Gil and Croft are swept up in the mission—to seek vengeance—even upon those innocent of any wrongdoing.
As it becomes clear that bloodlust may win out over rationality, the tension mounts in this masterpiece, with its timeless message about the dangers of mob mentality. The great William Wellman (Yellow Sky) directed this classic western, which was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award® and features a stellar cast that includes Dana Andrews (Boomerang) and Anthony Quinn (Across 110th Street).
Step into the golden age of cinema with a series dedicated to reviving overlooked gems and timeless classics. Curated by Coral Gables Art Cinema founder Steven Krams and Books & Books owner Mitchell Kaplan, Movies We Love! brings beloved cultural treasures back to the big screen—preserving their legacy and sharing their magic with new generations of film lovers.
