The Ox-Bow Incident, High Noon, and The Searchers were not the typical Westerns that movie goers were used to seeing in the mid-20th century. All were allegories based on the events of their day and, as such, conveyed meaningful messages to their audiences. Two of the Westerns were nominated for best picture, and the third, arguably, should have been.

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943)

Two cowboys (Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan) ride into a seedy frontier town and become involved in a "posse" seeking to find three men (Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn, and Frances Ford) who allegedly murdered a popular rancher and stole some of his cattle. When the three men are caught, the mob, led by a tyranical ex-Confederate officer (Frank Conroy), refuse to listen to Fonda and other voices of reason. Declaring the men guilty, the "avengers" lynch the three men. Afterwards, it is discovered that the victims were completely innocent.

A bleak and claustrophobic, low budget movie that received a nomination for best picture, The Ox-Bow Incident was an indictment of mob violence and more. The movie was based on Walter Van Tilburg Clark's book, written in the late 1930s as Nazi Germany was spreading its tentacles across Europe. His work, and the movie adaptation, take a hard look at what results when the rules of civilization are usurped by a few tyrants.
