My third video review! William S. Hart’s apocalyptic western is considered a classic of the genre. It features a suspenseful build-up, a fiery climax and an 18-year old John Gilbert in a supporting role. I recommend checking it out even if you are not an enormous fan of westerns. I think you will be surprised at its grit and raw power.

Fritzi,
Your commentary on HELL’S HINGES was spot on. Really excellent. HH is my favorite Hart, too. Makes me glad I subscribed.
Cheers,
Foster Grimm
