Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

ellenirishellen-62962 IMHO,Treasure Of The Golden Condor is owed its proper respect,in some ways an improvement of Son Of Fury.No offense to Ty fans,but Cornell Wilde was terrific,more beefcake than Powers,and Macready better looking and more menacing as the treacherous uncle.Interesting that the original prologue had the uncle killing the brother and his wife.Macready was much more menacing lauding over Fay Wray how the brother preferred someone else to her.Granted,we got to see some Sanders beefcake in the pugilist scene,which certainly explained the "lesson in pugilism" in Golden Condor,and perhaps why the uncle was such a brute,who can forget how Sanders looked positively psychotic while almost beating his nephew to death (perhaps why Macready wasn't quite as ferocious in Golden Condor,but near lethal anyway!).Both have outstanding supporting casts,but both deserved to be judged fairly as very good films!Hated Sanders acting effete in the courtroom,mocking Ty's defense.

JLRMovieReviews Young Ben Blake (later played by Tyrone Power) lives with his grandfather until his uncle George Sanders wants him, but only because Ty is the rightful heir to George's brother's and Ty's father's estate. He takes Ty and makes him work as a stable boy. Ty starts to have feelings for his daughter Frances Farmer, who loves him back. But then again, why would she love him when she has the attention of other society gentlemen? Ty escapes and meets John Carradine who has a dream of gold, pearls, money, money, MONEY! It's all found on a ship bound for adventure, beautiful islands, and Gene Tierney. Need I say more, except Ty isn't satisfied to live out his life simply, but to go and take back what is rightfully his from Uncle George.I liked this movie a lot, a lot. It is very satisfying with its treatment of the subject matter, and has a lot of heart to it, which is found lacking in most other adventures or swashbucklers similar to it. If you want to see an old-fashioned film with an epic feel to it and a lot of fun, then discover "Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake."

vosamis-1 Why is Frances Farmer referred to as "the late. Are the other cast members all still living? What is the difference between heal and heel?On another subject, does anybody know who is the man coming out of the screen door of Selznick Interntional movie studio? You just catch a glimpse of him during the introduction before the picture fades out. Maybe it is Mr. Selznick himself?In the cast is says that Dennis Hooey was in it, but could not find him? He played Inspector LeStrade in the Sherlock Holmes movies. Any help on this also appreciated.One day would like to make a visit to the former Selznick Studio. Actually, this movie was made by the Fox Co., wasn't it? Sorry about that. I once spoke with a top public information officer of 20th Century Fox sorry again, and when I asked her why FOX was all big letters in the e-mail I had received, she said she didn't know. I asked "Isn't that a person's name?" and she replied, "I don't know, is it?" I found that an interesting comment on the current education system in the United States.

Neil Doyle The dark side of GEORGE SANDERS is sure to bring out the cad in him whenever he plays a movie villain. And he's at his darkest in the early scenes of SON OF FURY, where poor RODDY McDOWALL must do work as a stable boy for his cruel and mean spirited uncle.Later, when McDowall grows up to be TYRONE POWER (now that does strain credibility a bit), he finds romance on a desert isle with GENE TIERNEY and he seems to have found paradise. But he can't forget that he must seek vengeance on his brutal uncle and packs up and leaves Tierney, clad in a becoming sarong and looking her most exotic. That alone stretches credibility again, but the plot is the thing.We follow Power back to London again to be reunited with his lady love (a beautiful FRANCES FARMER) and resolve his problematic relationship with sneering Sanders.It's the kind of costume epic made for someone like TYRONE POWER, the sort of tale that played on the fantasies of young men who wanted to do the sort of adventurous wandering that he does, especially if someone like Gene Tierney was still waiting for his return.It's absorbing all the way, full of dark menace whenever he has to confront GEORGE SANDERS, in one of his best jobs as a sarcastic villain. And, of course, for TYRONE POWER fans, it's one of his best roles as a romantic hero.
