Different in a number of ways, 24 November 2001 

Author: brj from Steubenville, Ohio 



There is a strong Christian content to the movie that most future westerns would not bring up (at least not like this).
The main character, Blaze Tracy, goes from being the toughest, meanest guy in town to a defender of the Christian faith,
although in a very individual way, i.e. no church affiliation. The plot centers greatly around faith and lack of faith.
The events can be spiritually interpreted in a number of cases. This movie is no simple western.

Extraordinarily powerful in its simple way, 13 January 2002

Author: m2 from United States



The story is dead simple: a tough guy is redeemed by love and becomes a defender of good over evil. The fact that it is
told just as simply as it's constructed gives it a lot of power, though. The saloon-owner and the tough hombre both want
to keep law and religion out of town, for different reasons. The saloon keeper sees it as a threat to his trade. The
cowboy sees it as a curtailment of personal freedom. One look at the new preacher's sister changes his life: is it her
beauty or her purity that strikes him to the core? In W.S. Hart's cosmos, they are the same thing. Whereas most great
westerns are about the control of land, about advancing through physical spaces (and that's why they're such excellent
visual subject matter) this one is really about the control of spiritual territory. The physical town will be conquered
by the church-group only if it conquers the spiritual realm.

William S. Hart, who had considerable experience as a stage actor, including the performance of a good deal of
Shakespeare, clearly understood that in the movies, acting and personal presence were inseparable. His acting is
incredibly restrained, and he lets the contours of his face speak volumes. He makes a few very stylized gestures, but
mostly relies on his personal presence, which is considerable. He is much more animated early in the film, before his
conversion. Once he is won over by the message of the church, he never cracks a smile, barely moves his face at all
unless he's really angry.

The entire film is as straightforward and unvarnished as Hart himself. The town is a spare group of unpainted wood
buildings in barren wasteland. The Villain wants to run things, and he'll do whatever it takes with no subtrefuge
necessary. The saloon girls are blatantly prostitutes. The church-goers are women and older men; all the young men are
hell-raisers. The hero's prayer is, in essence, "God, if you really answer prayers, then what I want is the
girl." It all sounds incredibly corny, but it rings so true when you watch it, it's hard not to feel a thrill.

Grim, Somber Western With Several Strengths, 22 August 2005

Author: SL from Ohio



The grim, somber tone of this Western does not at all keep it from being a watchable and interesting feature. William S.
Hart's screen presence is put to very good use, and the tension is built up steadily. The atmosphere is effective, and
along with the story, it is interesting in its contrast with the usual expectations of the genre.

Hart is well-cast as the stoical gunslinger who becomes fascinated by the purity of a preacher's sister. The character's
transformation might be a little too abrupt, and it might have been an even better movie if 'Blaze' had changed more
reluctantly, but Hart himself is quite effective in the role. Jack Standing also does a good job as the weak-willed
preacher whose folly leads to so much havoc.

The story is quite moralistic in its way, but it is nevertheless pretty interesting. The conflicts and tensions are of a
much different nature than westerns usually feature, and the tone is unrelentingly serious and foreboding. Things are
built up carefully into a harrowing finale that is filmed with a lot of detail.

Features like this show why Hart rose to such popularity. His persona seems to have been a good one for the times, and
his strengths as an actor show up well in silent cinema.

Pure Hart, 26 January 2005

Author: C



*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is considered to be one of William S. Hart's best Westerns, and I agree. The religious story and the instantaneous
first look at a pure woman transforming bad guy Hart into the good guy is as purely basic to the formula of Hart's
Westerns as it gets. As fellow commenter metaphor-2 said, the power of the film comes from its simplicity. Even the
small town, simple as a cheap producer can afford, helps intensify the climax. The climax is fitting: a town inhabited
by evil characters and called "Hell's Hinges" ends in an inferno. Hart gives one of his better performances
stalking beside fiery blazes, looking to gun down the bad guys. The close-ups help his performance greatly. Pure Hart.

Raising Hell with William S. Hart, 26 November 2007

Author: wcfrom Earth



As the film begins, William S. Hart (as "Blaze" Tracy) is off-screen, in the appropriately named town of
"Hell's Hinges". Mr. Hart is a "man-killer whose philosophy of life is summer up in the creed 'Shoot
first and do your disputin' afterward'!" He believes neither law nor religion will ever come to the wretched town
he loves. He is wrong. Jack Standing (as Rev. Robert Henley) is on his way to town; he is, as you'll witness, a recently
ordained minister with an eye for something other than ladies' souls. Mr. Standing will also reveal a fondness for
drink. Accompanying the bad reverend is his good sister Clara Williams (as Faith Henley). Ms. Williams combines
"the strength of character her brother so woefully lacks" and leads Hart to God (the Jesus Christ version).
But, is Hart a faithful servant of God, or just another Hell-raising western rogue? 

This is an excellent, albeit absurd, film. Steely-eyed Hart is well heeled; and, the fiery ending is tremendous.
Standing's debauched preacher is unexpectedly entertaining. Williams was a noted actress; but, she doesn't play innocent
and alluring; mainly, she looks admiringly at Hart (and her brother). You may wonder what Hart sees in her, when they
first meet; although, Hart plays the scene well. It's difficult to understand the Williams/Hart attraction, which worked
in other films. Thankfully, Louise Glaum (as Dolly) is around to play guiltily alluring; presumably, Hart has had his
fill of such women by the time Williams arrives.

Catalyst for other Westerns, 15 June 1999

Author: cb2 from Boston



Though a silent picture, this movie had a huge influence on Westerns after it. It reveals several characters which exist
in almost any good Western: the hooker with the heart of gold, the tough cowboy, the religious, weak dude, the petticoat
brigade, and the redemptive woman. Though not a great Western, it was exceptional for its time and extremely
revolutionary. It's definitely a must-see for anyone studying the Western.
