Ox Bow Incident Henry Fonda Pants Costume - One of the most emotional charged political films ever made. A movie, that once seen crawls under your skin and into your conscience forever. That is "The Ox Boy Incident" (1943), which explores in graphic detail the insanity of "eye for an eye" mob-rule, of the horrors of instant justice lynching, and the whole concept of the Death Penalty. The movie was so controversial, that 20th Century Fox sat on it for two years before releasing it. It also caused a fire-storm at the Hayes Censorship Department. Henry Fonda has said that of all the films he's made, this and "Grapes of Wrath" are the two he is most proud of. This bittersweet dark Western was also one of the very first to have an Afro-American (Leigh Whipper) play a major part in a film without his race being an issue, and as one of the main sources of morality in the story. These are a pair of Henry Fonda's screen worn pants from this haunting American cinema classic.
