Bad Day At Black Rock - 3.5/4

I wasn’t looking for a classic but I settled on this because I mistook it for a period Western when it’s actually set straight after WW2. It’s a tightly packed drama with an open mystery so you spend 80 minutes wondering if/when the nefarious townsmen will take out Spencer Tracy. I enjoyed it for the performances and what would have been an all-star cast back in the fifties. There is some very poor violence in it… I think even Spencer Tracy and Ernest Borgnine could put on a better fight than that if push came to shove.
Borgnine was a big bastard back then, he would probably have hurt anybody let alone an old man called Tracy.

Actors had crazy real names back then…
