Three Great Stars Spencer Tracy: Fury

on BBC One London

Tonight's selection in a season featuring the films of three great screen actors - Clark Gable, Tyrone Power, and, here, Spencer Tracy with Sylvia Sydney and Walter Abel, Bruce Cabot, Edward Ellis, Walter Brennan

Tracy gives one of his most moving performances in this powerful drama about a young man, wrongly accused of kidnapping, who is threatened by an angry lynch mob - a threat for which he extorts a cruel revenge
Fury was the first American film directed by Fritz Lang after he had left Germany. Although Goebbels offered Lang control of the German film industry, he hated the Nazis and expressed a lot of his venom in this angry indictment of mob hysteria
