User Review - 10/10 by Paul DI saw this film as a boy and found it to be the most frightening film I could imagine. More worrisome than 'Psycho' it posited the idea of a dark and malevolent side to the human character. Seeing it again as an adult, although sometimes more grand guignol than film noir, it has not lost its power. The cheers of the lynch crowd as they crow their killings still made my blood run cold.
User Review - 8/10 by Art SLaunching from the same true incident that was the basis for Fritz Lang's Fury (1936), Cy Endfield's film also tells the story of mob violence that ends in lynching. However, The Sound of Fury really turns the screws on Frank Lovejoy's down-and-out California transplant, showing him to be guilty (at least by association) whereas Spencer Tracy was wrongly accused in the earlier film. So, this film is a true noir, as Lovejoy's first mistake leads inexorably to his tragic downfall. Things are all the tougher to take because he has a wife and a child, one of the reasons that he gives in to the easy money available in the life of crime offered by slick and sleazy Lloyd Bridges (who provides a tremendous incarnation of the sociopath). So, on the one hand, we understand that social forces have led to Lovejoy's bad decision, but on the other hand, we can see Bridges is an amoral opportunist. When the mob descends on them, we know it is wrong tarring Lovejoy and Bridges with the same brush - but Bridges doesn't deserve lynching any less. A subplot showing how "yellow journalism" has incited the crowd is a little less effective and more didactic, but viewers can grasp the take home point that democracy requires a fair trial that isn't biased by the press. The fact that this democratic ideal was subverted here (and in the real incident) makes this a dark and troubling film indeed.
User Review - 8/10 by Ilsa LA gripping noir with a moral twist that suprisingly works very well thanks to a great script and convincing performances from the talented cast.
User Review - 8/10 by Zoran SI think I read a piece by Jonathan Rosenbaum somewhere where he mentions this as the most pessimistic Film Noir he ever saw. I can't think of a grimmer one. It certainly is one of the most damning looks at American life ever filmed: the protracted mob violence at the end of is horrifying and without hope. It paints such a bleak picture of economic disparity, American vengeance, moralizing, and media fear mongering. Timely today as it was in 1950, it should be better known. It has its heavy handed and awkward moments but you are not going to find a film more critical of America.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul NSuperbly handled indictment of capital punishment and media responsibility, which shares some of the themes of Fritz Lang's 'Fury'. Frank Lovejoy would never have a better role, Lloyd Bridges is mind-bogglingly psychotic. Made by Cyril 'Cy' Endfield before he was blacklisted and came to Britain for work, it's a breathtaking piece of work, wonderfully written by Joe Pagano from his novel (and based on a true incident), uniformly well acted and deftly directed. Seek it out.
