	Crime Without Passion
		Claude Rains puts in a strong performance in his third film as a successful but pathologically arrogant attorney who believes he is far superior to the rest of society.
		Freudian Psychology and Greek Mythology counter point in this bizarre film that opens with scantly clad and airborne female Furies peering into skyscraper windows as office workers are struck with hypnotic drives of unbridled passion.
		Art Deco sets and a amazing sound track all add up to create a picture that just has to be seen if you are a fan of dark film.

	village voice > film > Facing Windows by Jessica Winter
		It's a scary, heroic task, but one made ridiculous by the film's presumptuous lungings toward world-historical import.
		Mezzogiorno (who so memorably unleashed the furies as a woman betrayed in Gabriele Muccino's The Last Kiss) brings formidable smoky-eyed intensity to the role of Giovanna, who wants to change her circumstances without forsaking all she already has.
		A few laborious camera tricks facilitate the occasional mingling of 1940s Rome and the contemporary city, as Davide—sometimes delusional, sometimes mournfully lucid—finds himself drawn back to the staging grounds of his doomed romance with a man named Simone.

	Digital Spy: Modern films are rubbish, says Hoffman
		You can tell how much money the film is going to make by how it does on the first weekend.
		Dustin Hoffman has spoken out about the nature of the modern film culture, saying that it is "in the craphouse."
		Hoffman went on to explain why he took a brief break from his acting career in favour of writing and producing (The Furies): "I just lost that spark I always had," he said.

	AMannpr98
		The film is a western film noir about the passion and power of the relationships between fathers and daughters, women and men, and man and the land.
		Next, on the same bill, is a screening of THE FURIES (1950, Paramount, 109 min.) in which spitfire daughter Barbara Stanwyck and her cattle baron father Walter Huston lock horns in a fierce battle of wills in this incestuous Greek tragedy-on-the-plains.
		However, both romantic complications with their girlfriends, Joanne Dru and Marcia Henderson and fierce opposition from local fishermen threaten to stop them from discovering the secret of the rare Giant Golden Shrimp.

	Richard Morgan -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		Morgan returns to the Kovacs universe in the recently released (additional info and facts about Woken Furies) Woken Furies.
		After the success of his first two works, it was released as a novel and has also been optioned as a film.
		The common theme of Richard Morgan's books is that they take place in a (State in which the condition of life is extremely bad as from deprivation or oppression or terror) dystopia.

	the National Ballet of China
		In France, which is celebrating the Year of China through next July, we've got "The Red Detachment of Women," too, in film clips shown earlier this year as part of the "Alors, La Chine?" exhibition at the Pompidou Center, and, on tour throughout the country, from the National Ballet of China.
		The corps men, comprising a sort of house army whose principal purpose seems to be to capture, repress, and, when called on by the Master, eliminate the concubines, transcend Jerome Kaplan's unimaginative black costumes with genuinely fierce and fleet dancing, particularly when storming across the stage as a sort of Furies.
		Unlike the film, in which (as I understand it from reviews) it's explained that the lanterns are placed outside the house of whichever concubine the master will sleep with that night, for his ballet Zhang Yimou never explains the significance of the red lanterns.

	Biography for Walter Huston
		Regrettably, when the film Knickerbocker Holiday (1944) was made three years later, Huston's role went to Charles Coburn, who, nevertheless, sang the song in the film, one of the few songs retained from the show.
		He remained active-and prominent-in such movies as Summer Holiday (1948), The Great Sinner (1949), and The Furies (1950), the last-named completed shortly before his death.
		By his own admission not much of a singer, Huston introduced the American pop music standard "September Song&; in the 1938 Broadway show "Knickerbocker Holiday." His recording of the Kurt Weill-Maxwell Anderson song was a best-seller that year on the Brunswick label.

	Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2002) review by the Jackass Critics
		JCVH as I shall now call the film, in hipster fashion, is heart-warming period drama about the trials of the Son Of God as He works to rid the land of the scourge that are vampires.
		The film is very, very low budget, and it shows, all over the place.
		And so it is that these two legends of the ages join forces and turn their twinned furies towards those that walk beyond death.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: The Sandman: The Kindly Ones (Sandman S.)
		In THE KINDLY ONES The Sandman has invoked the wrath of the furies for having killed his son, Orpheus (even though this is what Orpheus asked for), but the story stretches far greater than the vengeance of The Furies, because in this penultimate volume of THE SANDMAN everything comes together.
		It scores above any TV, film or radio offering and in The Kindly Ones - the best of an already superlative series Neil Gaiman has set out a stall which challenges artists in every other sphere of entertainment to better.
		And "The Kindly Ones" is the climax of it - but, more importantly, it's also the apex of brilliance.

	Donald Duck
		Initially these nephew, as they made Tip and Tap in the comparisons of Mickey Mouse, were amused to arrange jokes and spites to their poor uncle, than exasperated it went on all the furies and to the end it always arranged much troubles, more than all the grandsons puttinges together.
		But the film of more important animation that it sees Donald Dock protagonist with to Josè Carioca is without doubt "the three Caballeros" an acclimatized film of 1944 in Latin America.
		They are in fact very amusings the history that always see the irritable Donald Duck to the taken ones with its enemies: Cip and Ciop, two innocents squirrels that but they ruin punctually the organized pic-nics ones from Donald Duck.

	The Kubrick Site: Michael Herr's Forward to "Full Metal Jacket"
		When Francis Coppola was making Apocalypse Now in the Philippines, the furies combined to turn the filming into something too much like Vietnam, and that was only part of what was paid for that great film.
		At least from the day that Stanley saw the phrase "full metal jacket" in a gun catalogue and found it "beautiful and tough, and kind of poetic," he had taken the book and the script, the cast and the technicians, into his obsession.
		Almost the first thing that struck me about Full Metal Jacket was how little it had to do with me. I suffered the usual screenwriter's losses, and found them acceptable losses.

	Sweet Smell of Success
		Lurking in the shadows may just be contemporary Greek Furies ludicrously urging you on to foul deeds, as they do in the dank and uninspired "Sweet Smell of Success" at the Martin Beck Theatre.
		Without comparing it to the famous 1957 film, the musical is stymied by stick figures, melodramatic situations, and a sub-freezing enjoyment level.

	WereWolves - Unpleasant Street Forums
		Werewolves aka Lycan aka Furies whatever you desire to call them are a great idea for horror film.
		I feel the same is true about Werewolves, except the number is probably lower like maybe only 20 good werewolf movies.
		I am thinking of going more indepth with the concept then careless killing.

	Anthony Mann
		Mann stages Herrera's lynching in The Furies as if it were a theatrical tableau, the characters statically occupying set positions on a horizontal plane, with Herrera in close-up profile in the foreground, monumental saguaro cactuses and darkening sky intrusively entering the edges of the frame.
		The peculiarly intimate agon/y in Mann's Westerns and film noirs evoke a response in the viewer that Jeanine Basinger has rightly described at the beginning of her book on Mann.
		The Mann patriarch may not die in the end (Jeffords does, but Waggoman lives on to recognize his self-destructive hubris), but the essence of his character is that he spawns conflict within his own family and conflict with other rivals.

	Anthony Mann
		The monstrous paternal figures that resurface in Mann's films remind us that one of his unrealised projects was a Western version of 'King Lear', though arguably he had at least partly achieved this with dying rancher Donald Crisp's obsession with passing on his inheritance in The Man From Laramie (1955).
		Alongside The Devil's Doorway, The Furies (1950) exhibited Mann's fascination with classical Greek mythology, adding more than a dash of Freudianism to its tale of Barbara Stanwyck's battle of wills with her dictatorial land baron father (Walter Huston in his final role).
		Mann's final Western was Cimarron (1960), a remake of the Oscar-winning 1930 movie and adaptation of Edna Ferber's sprawling novel.

	Electra - Unipedia
		Iphigenia helps her brother escape from Taurus, and the furies, sated by the reuniting of the family, abate their persecution.

	Amazon.ca: The Hitcher: DVD
		The hitcher quickly admits to being a murdering psychopath, and once Howell finally gets him out of his car, he is pursued with all the vengeance of the ancient furies.
		He starts off in the film to be a bit geeky, but once he meets Hauer he starts to get a little freaky himself.
		Howell is able to push the stranger out of the car and carry on down the road, but the hitcher isn't done yet, he starts to play a deadly game with Howell, like getting the police onto him, framing him, killing people in front of his eyes and all stuff like that.

		Carmela hasn't chosen Kane randomly—the film club she has set up is going to go through the AFI 100 Greatest Movies list in order.
		Perhaps the girl reading her plastic-covered lending-library novel is reading of love, or perhaps she is simply looking at the page and thinking of herself.

		Cimarron provided an opportunity to work once again with director Anthony Mann, with whom he had collaborated on The Furies (1950).
		Waxman also employs a European folk song (which Sabra sings to Yancey early in the film) as a love theme for the two principals, and supplies colorful themes for various supporting characters.
		M-G-M's Cimarron (1960)-- the second screen adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel of the same name -- was an epic western telling the history of Oklahoma settlers through the lives of newspaper publisher Yancey "Cimarron" Cravat (Glenn Ford) and his wife, Sabra (Maria Schell).

	Anthony Mann
		Link Jones (Gary Cooper) in Man of the West has a past history, of criminal violence and thievery as a former member of Dock Tobin's outlaws, which the character's efforts to conceal, at the beginning of the film, is constantly threatened by the forces of law and order in Crosscut.
		Those rivals may even be matriarchs (as in The Man from Laramie or The Furies) who have just as much ambition and will to survive as do the patriarchs.
		For example, we are invited to share the unendurable pain of Stewart being shot in the hand at close range, filmed in close-up, in The Man from Laramie (1955).

	#74: THE CAR, CHRISTINE, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, and KILLDOZER
		Another great noteable film is the 1974 TV movie KILLDOZER (based on a 1944 short story by THEODORE STURGEON) about a bulldozer that is controlled by a strange alien force that kills off construction workers.
		There were 13 or 16 (depending on source) Furies smashed in the making of the movie, but it it unknown whether they were 1957 or 1958 models, or a combination.
		The movie is just "so-so" but the original Stephen King book is a great read, with a cool use of song lyrics throughout, the 58 Plymouth Fury gets revenge on punks who dared to vandalize her, and possesses the driver, too!

	Grupo Salvaje - Breve biografía de Peckinpah
		Peckinpah's distrust of policymakers was reflected in The Killer Elite (1975) and his last film, The Osterman Weekend (1983), both essays on vicious tactics and dissolute friendship in the CIA.
		He spent his early career as a theater and television director before becoming an assistant on five films to director Don Siegel, famed for his hard-bitten action films (Peckinpah even played a small part in Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956).
		On an aesthetic level, Peckinpah is celebrated for his slow motion furies, first employed in a 1963 entry of TV's "Dick Powell Theater" called "The Losers," exercised to startling effect in The Wild Bunch, but somewhat overused in subsequent work.
