this film be the perfect definition of a masterpiece . a good story ( not so different from others of the same period ) perfectly develop by lang and restless and intense and beautifully play by the character and with a memorable end . i will always remember the image of henry fonda ( outstanding a ever . ) blaming of his fate to sylvia sydney just by look at her and frame by the little window of the visiting room of the prison while it remind me to the speechless film of lang where all the dialogue be replace by the look of the character . no word and so much be told represent pure art .
