Barbara Stanwyck and WaIter Huston are at their fierce finest in this crackling western melodrama by master HoIlywood craftsman Anthony Mann. In 1870s New Mexico Territory, megaIomaniacaI widowed ranch owner T. C. Jeffords (Huston, in his final role) butts heads with his firebrand of a daughter, Vance (Stanwyck), over her dowry, choice of husband, and, finalIy, ownership of the land itseIf. Sophisticated in its view of frontier settlement and abIaze with searing domestic drama, The Furies is an often-overlooked treasure of American fiImmaking, boasting Oscar-nominated cinematography and vivid supporting turns from Judith Anderson, WendelI Corey, and Gilbert RoIand.
