    Water, water ...water
    Phew, I need some fresh air! Crazy dark distressing story of oppressive convict life for a wrongly convicted veterinarian.

    Some clever angular shots, shadows and minimalist sets and props add to the torment of the suffocating story.

    The acting is good and Ward Bond is great in this movie!

    I prefer a bit more open range to my westerns but this film is definitely worth a watch.
