Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston go head-to-head in Anthony Mann’s ruthless western melodrama

Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are at their fierce finest in this crackling western melodrama by master Hollywood craftsman Anthony Mann.

In 1870s New Mexico Territory, megalomaniacal 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, finally, ownership of the land itself.

Sophisticated in its view of frontier settlement and ablaze with searing domestic drama, The Furies is an often-overlooked treasure of American filmmaking, boasting Oscar–nominated cinematography and vivid supporting turns from Judith Anderson, Wendell Corey, and Gilbert Roland.

  • High-definition digital restoration
  • Audio commentary featuring film historian Jim Kitses
  • New program featuring critic Imogen Sara Smith
  • Archival interviews with Anthony Mann, Walter Huston, and Nina Mann, the director’s daughter

A Nice western drama based on the novel that actually comes with the novel for comparison. Barbara Stanwyck who always delivers proves she's as comfortable in the saddle as she is in a film noir. This film in prospective is a great pre- story of events in the equally entertaining film "40 guns" also starring miss Stanwyck.

The Furies

This is an extraordinary Western, at times electrifying in its storytelling. It is about love turned to hatred and the search for revenge.

At its heart is a complex and intense relationship between a father and his daughter. At times they look at each other like lovers, at other times taunt each other and compete for the upper hand. The man’s son is an irrelevance to him, his daughter the sole focus of his attention. Most of all, though, he loves power.

She has a relationship with an older man, a squatter on her father’s vast property, who is like a father to her except that they share kisses which seem to go beyond the platonic.

She also develops a relationship with a gambler and businessman which looks like love but has a violent edge to it, kisses often alternating with slaps. Most of all, though, he loves money.

There are two acts of savagery in the film which shock the viewer and illustrate the brutality and ruthlessness to which the perpetrators are willing to go to hurt their enemies. The Director does not dwell on these acts - one occurs offscreen - but this does not lessen their impact.

The director (Anthony Mann), scriptwriter (Charles Schnee) and cinematographer (Victor Milner) have created a film that is noirish, at times an operatic melodrama, but never less than gripping and intriguing. Mann frames the story against a huge, rugged landscape and the night time sequences, rich with moody cloudscapes, are striking.

The father and daughter characters are brilliantly played by Walter Huston and Barbara Stanwyck respectively, both infusing subtle layers and complexity into their portrayals. Another exceptional performer is Judith Anderson, who holds her own in the scenes with the other two formidable actors and breaks the heart in her final scene with Huston.

The film is let down by its finale, whose sentimentality does not fit with the key characterisations so deeply developed in all that has proceeded.

The Criterion edition includes a copy of the fine novel by Niven Busch on which the movie was based. Reading it strengthens one’s appreciation of Mann’s artistry in turning the essence of the book into a great visual experience.

‘The Furies’ was released in 1950 and also that year came ‘Winchester 73’, the first of Mann’s superb Westerns starring James Stewart. The former film loses nothing in the comparison.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Mann, film noir and The Furies
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2009

Anthony Mann cut his teeth in movies directing some of the best "film noir" the genre had to offer.
Movies like T-MEN, RAW DEAL, SIDE STREET and DESPERATE showed his strengths in composition, cinematography and gritty realism in his storytelling (if at times a little uneven). However...Mann really hit his stride when he began directing the "western". Here Mann is in his element.

1950 was the year that made Anthony Mann a directing icon. Filmed before 1950's WINCHESTER 73, yet released after is THE FURIES (1950) This is a deliciously demented mixture of film noir and classic western elements.

Walter Huston plays T.C Jeffords, the widowed, ruthless, cold blooded, yet charismatic cattle baron. Barbara Stanwyck plays Hustons spoiled, headstrong tomboy daughter Vance Jeffords. While he has a son (played by John Bromfield) Huston has chosen Stanwyck to be the eventual ruler of his empire once he has retired. However...after being away on a long trip, Huston returns with a new love interest, the more "society friendly" Flo (played with great complexity by Judith Anderson)

Flo and Vance butt heads and when it is clear that she is jockeying for control of the ranch and trying to edge out Vance, Stanwyck reacts with a disturbing act of violence that has horrific results. Stanwyck flees the ranch and takes refuge with her long time friend played by Gilbert Roland. Roland is a squatter on Hustons land and in retaliation, Huston reacts with an act of violence of his own to spite Stanwyck.

In the aftermath, Stanwyck spits out the most memorable line of the movie at Huston

"now I hate you in a way I didn't believe a human could hate. Take a good long look at me T.C. You won't see me again until the day I take your world away from you!"

And thus begins an epic clash between father and daughter.

As with all of the Mann westerns, the terrain figures prominently in THE FURIES just as much as in Winchester 73, The Man From Laramie and Man Of The West. Unlike Ford, who emphasized and incorporated the beautiful vistas and sweeping grandeur of the southwest, Mann goes for something different. Mann sets his stage in desolate, remote, dangerously rocky hills. He goes for an almost claustrophobic feel. Bullets richochet off boulders, horse and riders struggle on unsure, gravely ground and rocks and boulders tumble dangerously down hillsides.
In a Mann western, the terrain is just as dangerous and deadly an opponent as any black hat wearing villain.

The film also has a memorable performance by Wendell Corey as a gambling house owner whose father was cheated out of his land by Huston, and who may or may not be an ally of Stanwyck. Also of note is Thomas Gomez as Hustons gleefully evil henchman "El Tigre".

It's logical that THE FURIES and Winchester 73 would incorporate a lot of noir style in them as that was Mann's forte prior. But THE FURIES mixes the two genres to the best effect I think. It has possibly some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in a B&W western, Red River and Winchester 73 being the possible exceptions.

Again, like most Mann westerns, there is a "King Lear" style father figure in Huston. Stanwyck has a wonderful and demented strength and stands toe to toe with the imposing, wiley Huston all the way through. Corey is smartly understated next to these two titans. An excellent film, a great western and on my own personal top 20 greatest movies list.
I suggest getting the Criterion dvd of the movie. It has a great commentary that analyzes practically every frame of the film, an entertaining, fact filled booklet with interesting analysis of the film as well as an unpublished interview with Mann. There is a 1930s era interview with Huston at his home. The set also comes with a new printing of the Niven Busch novel on which the film is based. It is shown in its original aspect ratio.

Mann has always seemed to me to be the bridge between Fords more traditional vision of the west and the bleak, amoral, bloody violence of Peckinpaw. There would be no Peckinpaw without Mann, but there would be no classic Mann westerns without Ford. While The Furies is not as entertaining as the collaborations between Mann and Stewart, it is one heck of a ride and definately worth buying just to see the excellent treatment that Criterion gives this, until now, rarely seen little gem.

Recensione.
Filmone di quasi due ore targato Anthony Mann. Un capolavoro! A vederlo, sono tornato indietro a cinquant’anni fa, quand’ero ragazzo, avevo 13 anni e lo vidi su Mamma RAI. Walter Huston (T. C. Jeffords) è il classico padre padrone della valle che vuol fare sloggiare i messicani (la famiglia Herrera), alla fine ci riesce ma pagherà con la vita. Gilbert Roland (Juan Herrera) innamorato della figlia di Walter Huston (T. C. Jeffords), di solito “messicano gentiluomo” nei Western, ma qui lo vediamo nel ruolo di un semplice abitante di un villaggio proprietario della propria terra; Wendell Corey (Rip Darrow): qui è il fondatore di una banca, anche se siamo abituati a vederlo nel ruolo di un poliziotto a cavallo canadese che, in combutta con “lei”, la grande Barbara Stanwyck (Vance Jeffords), rovinerà finanziariamente Walter Huston (T. C. Jeffords) e poi la sposerà. “Lei” l’ho tenuta per ultima: “lei” che recita la parte di una figlia scontenta, nonostante la ricchezza del padre; “lei” innamorata del messicano Gilbert Roland (Juan Herrera) che il padre farà impiccare. I totali che il regista ci regala sono da sogno, come pure le cavalcate al buio o in penombra. A mio modesto giustizio, quest’opera assomiglia molto al “vidoriano” (King Vidor) “Duello al Sole”, ma con ruoli invertiti: Barbara Stanwyck (Vance Jeffords) potrebbe essere Gregory Peck (Lewis McCanles) e Wendell Corey (Rip Darrow) Jennifer Jones (Perla Juarez). Un’opera carica di tensione fino all’ultimo minuto, a tratti “noir”, specie quando Barbara Stanwyck (Vance Jeffords), in un momento d’ira, scaglia le forbici contro la faccia di Judith Anderson (Flo Burnett), la nuova amante del padre, sfigurandola. Che altro dire? Amici appassionati del Western, guardatelo! È anche questo un film da comprare e da tenere nella propria collezione. Ai più anziani, come me, dico: riguardatelo! Tornerete ragazzi come me, come noi, che abbiamo vissuto la nostra infanzia nei leggendari anni ’70!

Quel beau titre à consonance mythologique que ce The furies de 1950 et quelle distribution pour cette histoire archétypale d'un amour fusionnel, quasi incestueux, entre un père et sa fille qui cède le pas à une haine tout aussi disproportionnelle avec comme enjeu le domaine familial, régi dans une tradition des plus féodales. Autour de l'incroyable Barbara Stanwyck qui chevauche comme personne, Wendell Corey, Walter Huston, Gilbert Roland et Judith Anderson (Mrs Danvers dans Rebecca c'était elle) s'attirent et se déchirent dans des scènes dont la violence est moins tant physique que psychologique, les deux pouvant s'entremêler tel ce moment inouï où, à court d'arguments, la fille, délaissée et jalouse, jette un coupe papier au visage de l'aventurière qui prétend épouser son père. Anthony Mann excelle à faire cohabiter la dimension intime de son sujet avec des paysages et des décors sortis tout droit des plus archétypales épopées. Raison pour laquelle il faut espérer une édition française de ce chef d'œuvre du western proposé ici dans une belle copie (4:3 1.37:1) en anglais ou italien.

Si les Furies latines correspondent aux Euménides d'Eschyle, c'est davantage dans ELECTRE de Sophocle que l'on trouvera le personnage de la "matricide" (de Clytemnestre)
pleinement développé (et ce "complexe d'Electre" défini par Jung (?), le psychanalyste rival de Freud) et non dans l'ORESTIE d'Eschyle où elle n'apparaît que brièvement développée (erreur que j'ai commise là où je devais écrire un commentaire sur le vendeur).
