¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaSome of the people appearing were local townspeople, not professional actors, which certainly added to the authentic look and feel of the film. Reputedly their legal agreements caused a problematic rights situation when attempts were made to release the film on home video in later years (although televised broadcasts were not seemingly a problem). The film was scheduled for a VHS release in the 1990s but was abruptly canceled just before its scheduled release date. It was released for a very brief time on DVD in 2006, which resulted in an almost immediate recall. It was finally released on DVD with no further problems in 2008.
- ErroresAfter the prosecutor declared his belief in the defendant's innocence the Judge requested his presence in chambers, This would not be allowed without the defendant's attorney also being present in an in camera proceeding. The Latin phrase 'In camera' is a legal term that means 'in private.'

Opinión destacada
who killed the town priest?
'Boomerang!' is one of those thrillers based on real events, presenting a corrupt view of small town America, where politicians seek votes over justice, and might doesn't always equal right.
With a cast including Dana Andrews, Lee J Cobb, and Arthur Kennedy, the story unfolds when the local priest is shot dead in the street and a wandering hobo is arrested and then grilled for hours until he confesses. Politically he is groomed for conviction, but the DA (Andrews) wants to know more. Meanwhile, political officials seek to let the alleged killer off on account of his being someone who'd served his country.
Corruption is rife both in the courtroom and without, and the viewer is drawn into this complex web not really knowing what the truth is. An interesting twist at the end almost ties things up but leaves some questions still unanswered.
Good performances, tense construction of character and storyline and some fine black and white photography mark this out as a minor classic of its type.
