About the Event
Dir: John Sturges, US, 1955, 81 minutes
Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Anne Francis
A one-armed stranger comes to a dusty little Arizona town that possesses a terrible past the inhabitants want to keep secret. Bringing simmering, atmospheric suspense scaldingly to the boil, Sturges perfectly captures the edgy insecurities at the heart of all racism.
Excellent performances and imaginative use of the 'Scope' frame TIMEOUT
