Product Description

Amazon.com Essential Video

Tough stuff from director Fritz Lang (M), making his first American film with this 1936 story of an innocent man (Spencer Tracy) who escapes a lynch mob and then orchestrates his apparent murder at their hands. Tracy is superb, and the film is uncompromising, until studio interference takes some of the wind out of Lang's sails right at the end. But as the portrait of a character who comes to reflect the destiny he is trying to avoid, this is still essential Lang and a pre-noir classic. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Spencer Tracy Has Never Been Better, Jan 2 2011
By

This review is from: Fury (DVD)
A true gem of a film, Fritz Lang gives us a tale of vigilantism and revenge that offers a warning of its dangers to society and the human soul.

Spencer Tracy has never been better. His ability to play a good and decent man left for dead, and then becoming a vengeful man seething with righteous hate is remarkable and a real treat for any film buff or admirer of great acting talent. The film also has a noteworthy performance by the ubiquitous Bruce Cabot.

Fritz Lang was rarely given a big budget for his Hollywood films, but this I believe made him an even better director. His ability to use his actors to their fullest degree and range, and take simple stories to great heights are attributes that have and will ensure his legacy as one of the great directors in film history.

A must see film that offers great entertainment with a strong moral and social message

4.0 out of 5 stars That good old American sport...Lynching., May 12 2004
By 
JOHN GODFREY (Milwaukee ,WI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fury (VHS Tape)
This movie is an indictment of it of course. Quite common in the 30's. This is the first film of Fritz's Lang's American period & it seems like he's got the lingo down pretty good.
Briefly, Tracy plays a good guy, wrongly accused of a terrible crime by the residents of a small town. The evidence is highly circumstancial but the townsfolk want to lynch him & burn down the jail to get at him. He escapes & is presumed dead.
The townsfolk are broadly drawn as xenophobic, intolerant & quick to judge the world outside their little orbit.
Tracy's acting goes over the top, his character changing 180 degrees. One of his better efforts, however & that's saying a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tracy at his best, Jan 15 2004
By 
John J. Bugeja "Johnace" (Heathmont, Vic Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fury (VHS Tape)
This is easily my favourite Spencer Tracy movie. Altough quite a different story line to his Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde, Tracy uses a similar technique when he changes his personality in Fury from the young easy going loving man on a journey to visit his fiance, to a bitter twisted vengence seeking man.
Although you could not blame him for this
