the select few memorable scenes inside the dark, gritty film include the agonizing episode involving the ploughing machine & the climactic gunplay in a quicksand swamp. A film was shot by famous cinematographer John Alton who uses shadows & lighting results to require an audience despite the fact that a film was shot in a moo budget.
Film reviews of the motion-picture show now come mostly caring. Roger Westcombe write about the webpage [http://www.bighousefilm.com/reviews/border_incident.htm Big House Film] compares a film to classic film westerns: "Yet far from a typical Western’s sense of freedom, Border Incident shares with (director Mann's previous effort) T-Men that film’s inky, submerged visual quality. These are ‘wide’ but not ‘open’ spaces, as Alton’s beautifully registered grey-toned but grim visuals make the distant horizons as closed as the American border. The constant presence of vulnerable, innocent peasants adds a piquancy to Border Incident, raising the stakes from the destiny of a mere two police agents to that of an entire underclass."
