Review of The Furies (1950) by Bleak M — 29 Jul 2008
A fiery little western from the always interesting Anthony Mann. This is a compelling melodrama that is in the vain of Shakespearian tragedy. It is different then most films of its kind of the era. The Furies has a dark edge and high melodrama that makes it unique for its time.
Yes it may be over the top but it is a whole lot of fun. Stanwyck and Huston are both really good here as they face off against one another. The filma also was intriging because of feminist and sexual undertones.
Anthony Mann really pieces together a good looking and unique western.
