Review of The Sound of Fury (1950) by Paul N — 05 Mar 2008
Superbly handled indictment of capital punishment and media responsibility, which shares some of the themes of Fritz Lang's 'Fury'.
Frank Lovejoy would never have a better role, Lloyd Bridges is mind-bogglingly psychotic.
Made by Cyril 'Cy' Endfield before he was blacklisted and came to Britain for work, it's a breathtaking piece of work, wonderfully written by Joe Pagano from his novel (and based on a true incident), uniformly well acted and deftly directed. Seek it out.
