They Won't Forget

“...EXPLOSIVE HATE DRAMA OF THE FURY OF A LYNCH-MAD MOB!! ...A STORY YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!”

Andrew Griffin (Claude Rains) is a small-town southern lawyer who wants a seat in the Senate, and the murder of a teenage girl on Confederate Decoration Day looks like his way there. He settles on Robert Hale (Edward Norris), the northern-born teacher from her business school, though the evidence against him is thin. Mervyn LeRoy follows Griffin and a ruthless reporter as they stir up the town, with Hale's life the price of one man's ambition.
