Barbara Stanwyck Film Series: The Furies

The Furies 

Barbara Stanwyck excels as the fierce daughter of cattle baron Walter Huston, embattled with her father and brother over control of the family property, personal matters and issues involving ranch workers.  Wendell Corey, Judith Anderson and Gilbert Roland also star in this refreshingly offbeat western. 1950 109 min. Not Rated. This film and discussion is hosted by Irv Slifkin. No registration required.

Barbara Stanwyck Film Series

Born Ruby Catherine Stevens in Brooklyn in 1907, 
Barbara Stanwyck’s long and illustrious career started in the late 1920s with a series of risqué “pre-Code” pictures and lasted until the 1980s where the actress won awards for her appearance in the top-rated TV work like “The Thorn Birds.” In between, Stanwyck proved she was at ease in whatever type of role she took whether it be farce, western, drama, thriller or romance. This series offers a brief look into her impressive and wide-ranging screen work.
