T.C. Jeffords (Walter Huston) rules his sprawling New Mexico ranch with an iron fist. But his authority doesn't extend to his strong-willed daughter, Vance (Barbara Stanwyck), who both hates and loves her father with equal ferocity. Tensions rise when Vance falls for bad boy Rip Darrow (Wendell Corey), whom T.C. buys off. But the family conflict turns violent when T.C. decides to marry Flo Burnett (Judith Anderson) -- and evict Vance's childhood friend Juan (Gilbert Roland) from his land.

The movie's jarring violence pales beside the clashes of egos and the disputes between new banking interests and age-old claims on the land.

7/10

Mann executes it with rich narrative economy to narrate a story of financial crises, parental wounds and territorial conflicts, with two compelling performances from Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston. Full review in Spanish

3.5/4

A fascinating entry in the Western genre; flawed, powerful, and haunting, a meditation on the all-encompassing corruption of capitalism that, in perhaps the most American fashion, ends up paying tribute to the very figures it set out to condemn.

4/5

The Furies is driven by emotional drama, vulnerable characters, and noir-ish sensibilities that play against archetypal western elements.
