Day of the Bad Man (1958)

Synopsis: A judge at a small town faces a difficult challenge when a murderer's death sentence must be passed; he is threatened by the criminal's siblings, and gets wavering support from the town's sheriff and the townspeople; to complicate things further, his fiancée has decided to quit him for said sheriff.
Appraisal: Concise and energetic in the first half, it suffers from some poorly solved conflicts in the second half, and a somewhat abrupt ending; as a low-budget western, it is above average.
Rating: 45
