# Hell's Hinges (1916)

I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, along with other pictures of the era that I find interesting, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. Considered by many to be one of the best silent Western films ever made, in Hell's Hinges a woman and her minister brother move to a wild Western town. They soon learn that many of the outlaws in the town will stop at nothing to keep the town from changing. Reviews were exceptionally positive upon release of the film, with that acclaim growing over time as well.
