Biography An action film for people who don't like action films. Considerable excitement is whipped up in this suspense drama, and fans who go for tight action will find it entirely satisfactory. An unscrupulous movie producer uses an actress, a director and a writer to achieve success. Certificate: Passed
The entire cast is flawless, especially Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin as the mean-spirited town bullies, and the relentlessly paced action never eclipses the film's sobering themes.
RT Comic-Con Ketchup A pretty good suspense movie with Tracy, it has it's good moments, but it also has boring moments. John Sturges's 1955 film "Bad Day at Black Rock" sets Spencer Tracy against a barren desert landscape in this beautifully filmed widescreen Technicolor thriller. It's an outstanding thriller. August 15, 2020 This is an excellent tense, taunt, short film of only 81 minutes. A middle-aged butcher and a school teacher who have given up on the idea of love meet at a dance and fall for each other. Tracy and a marvelous supporting cast including Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin and Anne Francis co-star.

The town seems lawless and Horn only seems to hold the position of sheriff, but Reno Smith (Robert Ryan) runs the town. The town has a secret surrounding a Japanese-American we never see, because he disappeared shortly after Pearl Harbor. | The townspeople are incredibly suspicious of Macreedy, his arrival in the town polarizes them. There are no others; the beliefs simply lie buried and dormant, under what to the dominant culture will appear a rural but 'normal' town. Classics, Cinemark
