Chilling depictions of hangings
Several things strike me about this film, mostly the hanging sequences. Although we never see anybody actually "drop," there is enough visual buildup of what the hanging would amount to, to really send chills up and down my back.
Another thing I admired were the clever animation sequences. They were richly done, and added a nice touch to what apparently was a low-budget movie (I guess they didn't even have enough money to shoot it in color, as was originally planned.)
