The Ox-Bow Incident
1943 Nominee

100 Words
All I could think of when I first saw the title of this was a Rugrats episode called “Incident in Aisle Seven.” It has something to do with Reptar. Anyway, this movie is way less whimsical than a baby trying to get dinosaur-themed cereal and depending on your taste (in films, not cereal), that is either a positive or a negative thing.

Three men are accused of murder based on meagre evidence. The guy in charge can’t stand his son’s defiance and there’s a brief love story – even briefer than an episode of Rugrats.

At least Tommy gets his cereal.
