Review of Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) by Jesse H — 06 Dec 2008
Modern western about a one-armed stranger who comes to the tiny town of Black Rock in 1945 in search of a man. Immediately he is harassed by the townsfolk. But why are they so hostile? What dark secret lies at the heart of this seemingly nondescript town? The unsurprising answer was perhaps cutting-edge for 1954, but it's rather overused today.
Self important message movie is tense and well acted, however. Oscar nominated for Best Actor, Director and Screenplay.
