Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A young man sentenced to be hanged for murdering a racketeer because, in order to protect others whom he admires, he refuses to offer justification for the killing, either in court or afterward. Everyone involved wants the sentence to be commuted, but the law is implacable.
