Summary

We’re wrapping up Western Month with a look at William Wellman’s The Ox-Bow Incident. Released in 1943 the film is based on the 1940 novel from Walter Van Tilberg Clark and stars Henry Fonda and Henry Morgan as Gil and Art, two cowboys who ride into the town of Bridger’s Wells where a messenger brings news of the senseless murder of a local rancher Larry Kincaid and the rustling of his cattle.

Angela Mac and Ian Brownell join Mike to discuss this harrowing tale of vigilante justice while author Carl Rollyson discusses his book Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews.
