Review of The Furies (1950) by Forrest K — 12 Dec 2009
A classic, timeless Western melodrama. Despite the bravura style of acting, the characters are deep and compelling. Each line of dialogue is impeccably crafted yet delivered entirely off-the-cuff, almost in a noir style.
Barbara Stanwyck is inspiring as the tough-as-nails ranch daughter, and Walter Huston infectiously channels the soul of a self-declared larger than life cattle baron. Proof positive that a Western could maturely explore complex issues, even in the 1950s.
