A common theme about cowardice in the face of danger and how one man finally had enough and did something about it while the rest of the town stood around quaking with fear. Most of the cast did a good job here. Henry Fonda, whom I can't stand, did his usual acting job of staring blankly. I can't figure out what the character of Evelyn was supposed to see in him. Otherwise, the slow build up of suspense and danger was gripping.
