Short description
A posse discovers a trio of men they suspect of murder and cow theft and are split between handing them over to the law or lynching them on the spot.
What's left behind the scenes
- Henry Fonda, who had a deferment, immediately joined the Navy after finishing filming.
- Henry Fonda was generally dissatisfied with the quality of the films he was contractually obligated to make with 20th Century Fox. "The Ox-Bow Incident" is one of only two films from that period he worked on with enthusiasm. The other was "The Grapes of Wrath."
- William A. Wellman loved Walter Van Tilburg Clark's novel 'The Ox-Bow Incident' and had long nurtured the idea of filming it, but the rights holders insisted that he include a role for Mae West in the film, which Wellman considered absurd. Eventually, Wellman bought the rights to the novel himself in order to film it as he saw fit.
- In 1998, the film was included in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
