Spencer Tracy in Fritz Lang’s FURY Available on Blu-ray November 9th From Warner Archive

“The mob doesn’t think. It has no mind of its own.”

Spencer Tracy and Sylvia Sidney in Fritz Lang’s FURY (1936) will be available on Blu-ray November 9th from Warner Archive

Joe Wilson, a wrongly jailed man thought to have died in a blaze started by a bloodthirsty lynch mob, is somehow alive. And dead to all he ever stood for and perhaps ever will. Because Joe aims to ensure his would-be executioners meet the fate Joe miraculously escaped. Spencer Tracy is Joe, Sylvia Sidney is his bride-to-be, and Fury lives up to its volatile name with its searing indictment of mob justice and lynching. In his first American film, director Fritz Lang (Metropolis, The Big Heat) combines a passion for justice and a sharp visual style into a landmark of social-conscience filmmaking. In the 49 years before this movie’s release, some 6,000 people in the U.S. were victims of lynch mobs. The Fury over those tragedies – and over other injustices to come – remains.

Extras: Commentary by Peter Bogdanovich with archival interview comments from Fritz Lang, Theatrical Trailer (HD)
