Hang 'Em High (1968)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061747
Clint Eastwood's first post 'Sergio Leone's The Man With No Name trilogy' Western genre film starring role: the first of many American movie studios made Westerns he will end up making during the late 60's to the late 70's.
This is a strong denounciation of the American justice system during the west or more specifically, the lack of a justice system;
a system so corrupt and flawed, one man will decide everyone's fate with no appeals.
A justice system where the accused, whether guilty or innocent, have no rights, and the lawmen enpowered to bring in the accused are doing the Devil's work and bidding.
The leading actress, Inga Stevens,
is the woman who makes Eastwood's character realize there is more to a life of hunting fugitives and seeking personal revenge.
It's a shame Ms. Stevens ended up committing suicide at only 35 years young, about 2 years after this movie was made.
From reading her IMDB bios, she had a history of falling for co-stars, falling for the wrong men, and pretty much like the saying goes: "looking for love in all the wrong places."
A very sad and tragic end to an actress whose star was still rising and she was headed toward the peak of her movie career.
This movie also co-stars a young Dennis Hopper and Bruce Dern.
