An essay by film historian John DiLeo about the film The Furies (1950) directed by Anthony Mann and starring Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston. Excerpted from John DiLeos Screen Savers II: My Grab Bag of Classic Movies, The Furies (1950): Mann of the West. Noted for its volatility, the suddenness of its violence, and its unmistakable strain of incest, The Furies is quite a show. Its a peak picture for most of its contributors, notably the best of Barbara Stanwycks eleven westerns (not to mention her television series The Big Valley).
