Review of The Furies (1950) by Vj B — 16 Apr 2009
Brilliant film with Walter Huston as a egomaniacal ranch owner in a border town and his headstrong daughter (played brilliantly by Barbara Stanwyck) as their relationship and their land fall into peril. Anthony Mann does a superb job with this fairly basic psychological drama which makes the movie stand out against other westerns of the era.
Although the casting of Wendell Corey as a love interest does not pay off the rest of the cast is perfect. The ending also is not as sharply done as the rest of the film which makes this personal favorite a flawed masterpiece.
