Review of The Furies (1950) by Corey B — 11 Nov 2008
A great overlooked western from anthony mann. walter huston is always a joy to watch and in his last film he plays the boss of the furies, a man so powerful he prints his own currency. barbara stanwyck plays his willful daughter who's determined to control his ranch one way or another.
she may have come from brooklyn but she looks like she belongs in the vast western landscapes. it's a compelling family melodrama with wonderful performances all around and great chemistry between father and daughter with their conflicts and tough talk.
you'd almost think they were related. it's well worth checking out altho perhaps wrapped up a little too neatly in the end.
