Review of The Furies (1950) by Richard S — 04 Oct 2008
Wow. Here's your chance to see Stanwick as uncensored as the Hayes Code would allow. I'll admit to waiting a bit before renting this one. Westerns are generally not my cup of tea, but I'm a sucker for almost anything with a Criterion spine number.
Thankfully this is more Electra Complex mixed megalomania than lonesome cowhands versus crazed injuns.The fiercely overripe performances are bolstered by a subtext laden script. The less said about it the better.
This is a must for Stanwyck and Sirk fans. This may very well be the best English language disc Criterion has released since "Ace in the Hole" hit stores late last year.
