[[
[[William S. Hart]] was one of the most popular of the silent [[The Western|Western]] stars. Unlike most of the early film cowboys, Hart's characters were ambiguous -- no stereotype men in white hats. They could be crooks or killers just as easily as honorable lawmen or hard-working ranchers. In '''''Hell's Hinges''''', he is a self-described killer seeking retribution on behalf of the devout sister of a rather pathetic minister. Performances by Hart and [[Clara Williams]] as the aptly-named Faith are confident and comparatively restrained for their day. The cinematography by Joseph August, who would work with masters such as John Ford and Howard Hawks, is equally confident and adds a level of sophistication to the production.
