The Furies (1950)


A firebrand heiress clashes with her tyrannical father, a cattle rancher who fancies himself a Napoleon; but their relationship turns ugly only when he finds himself a new woman.

Larger-than-life Western epic in which all figures (and especially Barbara Stanwyck) are tough and ruthless in a world where only these traits seem to count.

Halliwell*: "Interesting but heavy-going Western, more solemn than stimulating despite its Freudian excesses."

Maltin***: "Operatic-style Western saga of love and hate..."
