DISCOVER THE OX-BOW YOU DON'T KNOW!
I highly recommend listening to the FREE Wesleyn University film course lecture covering The Ox-Box Incident at:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/western-movies-myth-ideology/id427787648
It provides some stunning background to this movie that you'll assuredly not know.
I've watched Ox-Bow at least a dozen times, but I've never viewed it the same since hearing this incisive lecture.
BTW - This series also includes discussions covering:
Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
Little Big Man
The Wild Bunch
The Searchers
Rio Bravo
My Darling Clementine
Stagecoach
Magnificent Seven
and many others
Enjoy!
