    I've watched this western many times and it still touches me. The letter Fonda reads is something we all should take to heart.

    Great scene. Fonda was the master of this type of speech. he always does just enough, never too much, never too little.

    A beautiful statement of American values from a time before Hollywood warped them beyond recognition. "He said he wanted his wife to get this letter, didn't he? He said there was no one to look after the kids, didn't he?" Oh, I miss those days.

    The Ox Bow Incident is my favorite Western of all time....Never has the media tried to push a moral story on honest law abiding citizens better than before this glory of a plot line.

    Great classic movie. Love how the movie starts and ends with them riding their horses while "Red River Valley" plays mournfully in the back round, and that dog, check out that dog, just plain brilliant.

    For at least 25 years " Shane " has been my favorite Western. I just saw this and I think " Shane " may have been dethroned. However, this is more than just a western. It's a lesson on human nature. In the end, it's an absolute masterpiece, all done in just 75 minutes.

    This is one of those rare occasions when the movie is actually better than the book.

    Great touch how you don't see his eyes while he’s reading the letter.

    I saw this great masterpiece when I was about 16 years old. Now 30 years I can appreciate it even more so. Still the most poignant movie that I've ever seen. 10-25-2018

    Henry Fonda witnessed a real lynching when he was 14 yrs old in Omaha, Nebraska...I'm pretty sure him doing this movie was pretty painful, and also meant a lot to him!

    One of the best movies in the history of Hollywood, and 98% of Americans have never heard of it. Do me a favor and show it to your children.

    It's really a tragedy that movies like these aren't made nowadays. Another classic film similar to this one is 1936's Fury with Spencer Tracy.

    The numbers of individuals who were innocent of crimes and suffered greatly is still a fact of life.

    The bully Farnley fighting back tears after the letter is read; what a touching moment.

    It didn't make a dime when it was released. People didn't understand its meaning, yet William Wellman thought it was his best picture. Of the original cast, only Harry Morgan is alive.
