Son of Fury (1942)
(Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake)
Country: US
Technical: bw 102m
Director: John Cromwell
Cast: Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, George Sanders, Frances Farmer
Synopsis:
Denied his inheritance by the treachery of his wicked uncle, Benjamin Blake takes to the South Seas to make his fortune before returning to claim what is rightfully his.
Review:
Worth seeing for Gene Tierney in a sarong, and a rare glimpse of the doomed Frances Farmer in a more or less remembered film; but there is not exactly much action for your money here, unless one counts the occasional bout of fisticuffs with George Sanders. Still, there are some nice cameos, particularly Elsa Lanchester, and a general air of conviction and efficiency in the production.
