Product Description:
Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are at their fierce finest in master Hollywood craftsman Anthony Mann's crackling western melodrama. In 1870s New Mexico Territory megalomaniacal widowed ranch-owner T. C. Jeffords (Huston in his final role) butts heads with his daughter Vance (Stanwyck) a firebrand with serious daddy issues over her dowry choice of marriage and finally ownership of the land itself. Both sophisticated in its view of frontier settlement and ablaze with searing domestic drama The Furies is a hidden treasure of American filmmaking boasting Oscar®-nominated cinematography and vivid supporting turns from Judith Anderson Wendell Corey and Gilbert Roland.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:New restored high-definition digital transferAudio commentary featuring film historian Jim Kitses (Horizons West)A rare 1931 on-camera interview with Walter Huston made for the movie theater series Intimate InterviewsNew video interview with Nina Mann daughter of director Anthony MannStills gallery of rare behind-the-scenes photosTheatrical trailerPLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Robin Wood a 1957 Cahiers du cinema interview with Mann and a new printing of Niven Busch's original novelMore!System Requirements:Running Time: 109 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/COWBOYS Rating: NR UPC: 715515030229 Manufacturer No: CC1755DDVD

Seconds into Anthony Mann's hardboiled horse opera, Barbara Stanwyck absent-mindedly plays with a pair of scissors. Not to worry: she'll put them to use soon enough. Until that time, Stanwyck's volatile heiress, Vance, alternately flatters and manipulates her egotistical father, T.C. Jeffords (a feisty Walter Huston in his final performance). It's the 1870s and T.C.'s ranch, the Furies, inspires envy throughout the New Mexico territory. If Vance picks a suitable husband, T.C. promises her a handsome dowry. Unfortunately, she chooses brutal gambler Rip Darrow (Rear Window's Wendell Corey). If it wasn't for Vance's friendship with Mexican-American squatter Juan (Gilbert Roland), she wouldn't inspire much sympathy, but Vance stands up for the Herreras when financiers pressure the Jeffords to throw them off their land. Then, T.C. takes up with scheming socialite Flo (Rebecca's Dame Judith Anderson), and the tense relations between father and daughter explode into all-out war. By the end, those scissors end up in someone's face, leading to a cycle of revenge-oriented violence. Adapted from Niven Busch's novel by Red River's Charles Schnee, The Furies isn't as deliriously over-the-top as Busch's Duel in the Sun, but it plays more like Shakespearean tragedy than Technicolor camp, and Stanwyck owns the screen from start to finish. The excellent extras include erudite commentary from film historian Jim Kitses, a terrific 1967 interview with Mann for British TV, a playful 1931 chat with Huston, remembrances from Mann's daughter Nina, an essay from critic Robin Wood, and a new printing of Busch's original novel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
