If The Ox-Bow Incident hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: 19th century

Both are William A. Wellman's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Leans harder into crime than The Ox-Bow Incident does

Western with a pulse of grit, in both cases


Both lean on grit more than on western

Cut from the same western cloth
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

Western of the same temperament

Both know what they want from western

A 1980s answer to the same itch

A 2010s cousin in spirit

The same preoccupation in both: lynching

Reaching back to the 2010s for it
In the mood for more gritty?
