The Ox-Bow Incident

One of my very favorite western novels is The Ox-Bow Incident by Walter Van Tilburg Clark. Everyone should read it.

And one of my very favorite western movies is The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) with Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn, Harry Morgan and many others. I watch it every so often, including again this evening. The film has been selected for the National Film Registry as a “cultural, artistic and/or historical treasure.” But beyond that, it is a pleasure to watch.

Tonight I streamed the film from Netflix via my Wii. (The Wii Netflix disk arrived just today.) Of course, it’s a 67-year-old black and white film, but the streaming by Wii worked well.

All Wiis have built-in wireless capability.
