Winterset is a 1936 American crime film directed by Alfred Santell, based on the 1935 play of the same name by Maxwell Anderson, in a loose dramatization of the Sacco and Vanzetti trial and execution in 1928.

The script retains elements of the blank verse poetic meter on which Anderson based his 1935 Winterset Broadway theater production.

[3] Actor Burgess Meredith made his credited film debut as the avenging son Mio Romagna.

[2] Writing for The Spectator in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a good review, noting that "this play (in the original it was in blank verse) has [...] solid merits".

"[5] The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, one for Best Art Direction by Perry Ferguson and the other for Original Score by Nathaniel Shilkret.
