I feel like "The Furies" is a rather auspicious name for a film, and unfortunately I was disappointed with the outcome. The Furies moves along briskly enough and kept me with it till the end, mostly out of curiosity to see if a real story would develop (it did not) and to marvel at the theatricality of some of the performances. I like Stanwyck but felt her performance here was a little stiff. Huston was a bit heavy-handed in his performance, and Corey was just plain miscast as the romantic lead. The oddly sensualized relationship between father and daughter was intriguing to see how far it would go, but it was the thinness of the story that just could support all of the aforementioned baggage. While I was ultimately disappointed by The Furies I'm still happy to have seen it. If you're a fan of westerns then I say you should definitely check it out, but for everyone else maybe not.
