All time classic
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A standout classic movie where Tracy shows why he was such a real film star and great actor. A well-paced movie that goes slowly and builds tension while the viewer tries to figure out why things are happening. One of Tracy's best. Great transfer onto blu ray, but no supplemental material. That doesn't take anything away from it-this film stands by itself.

Bad Day At Black Rock
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An exceptionally strong and talented cast tells this story of deep mystery and suspense in an absolute believable and provocative manner. The stranger is looking for a man named Kamoko and is not getting any answers. The pairing of Robert Ryan as a Spencer Tracy’s antagonist makes for a spirited view. This old-style 1960’s Mystery/Drama will beckon you back for more than a 2nd view.

Odd but interesting movie
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A town smacked centered in “Nowhere’s Ville USA” rich with resentment and racism. Spencer Tracy shows how it gets done.

Bad Day is a Good Watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tension between the characters played by Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan makes for a powerful story. I had heard of but not seen this film before. I'm glad I have and will watch it again. The story reminds us of the fear and prejudice against Japanese-Americans at the time of World War II but goes beyond that to remind us of the way one evil leads to many others and warps the human spirit.

Modern Western
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you love it. You will love it more. It's a western in a modern setting. No horses or stagecoaches, just a train and motor vehicles. One man against a town with a secret. An exceptional cast starting with Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan does not disappoint. The picture looks great an the dialogue is clear.

Classic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great movie. Basic plot, but a well acted taut thriller. Bluray picture quality is a revelation and looks amazing. Cinemascope!!! Sound is limited by age but serviceable. Only a commentary for special features.
