He was innocent of the crime and not innocent of the revenge.

Pass it on

The review

Lang's American picture is a lynching, and I was too tired to pretend it is only a thriller. A man on his way to marry is jailed on a thin suspicion. A town burns the jail. I won't describe the fire. Spencer Tracy. He survives and wants the town to pay with a trial that will kill them. A teen can watch it. Not a top rental.

He was innocent of the crime and not innocent of the revenge. The law failed before he did. I said both of those before anyone called the trial justice. The marriage he was headed for is what the suspicion took. I wouldn't hand a younger child the fire, and I wouldn't give the revenge a clean name.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Dark Victory

63 instead of 51

Dark Victory is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is courage: The courage is the last day, which costs the life she would miss.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

51Watch it awake.

A child can watch the submarine; the bolted-on war talk is 1916, not the sea.

The review

Captain Nemo and a submarine, and the underwater scenes were really shot underwater. That is the part I would show a child. The sea is the pleasure. This 1916 Universal picture was the year's leader on the lists still cited. It is not a later version, so don't talk over it with a newer one.

A wartime frame was added, with Nemo against a warmongering power. The added war is 1916 talking. A child can watch the boat and the water. I'd say, before that frame takes over, that the war talk was put on for the year. The dive is the part worth keeping.
