The Furies


This little known classic by Anthony Mann, is truly worth your time. Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston, in his final role, give the performances of a life time as dueling father and daughter. While the ending is some what flawed, the unnerving sexual tension between the two is chilling, and the noir quality to the movie makes it a western in a league of its own. This powerful western was just released on Criterion and is worth every penny.
