Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) • Discape

Just the way it happened!

A modern Western whose liberal sentiments won it favourable comparisons with High Noon (1952). … What gives the film its force is [John] Sturges’ bold, thrillerish, direction, which uses the scope screen to dramatic effect, and the army of heavies who give a real air of menace to [Millard] Kaufman’s literate screenplay.

Phil Hardy, The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: The Western (The Overlook Press, 1994)
