Fury is a very unusual, 1936, Fritz Lang movie of ideas with an intelligent, powerful performance by Spencer Tracy.
Its theme of justice is presented so close to the philosophical level that its many flaws are especially frustrating. The plot is about mob vengeance and a response. The first ten minutes are annoyingly conventional.
Tracy could have played Rearden.
My local library, like presumably others, has many unknown movies from many decades. Most are deservedly unknown, concrete evidence of the difficulty of movie directing. But there are a few good movies. Excepting Atlas Shrugged, I haven’t been to a movie theatre in decades and even that was a bizarre Tom Cruise disaster.
