Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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."

rickdumesnil that Tyronne Power never got an Oscar or recognition is beyond me. he didn't have to open his mouth ....just the eyes demonstrated all emotions needed whether sadness....joy.....angriness. son of fury is a movie that captures our hearts from the beginning....the scenery....the music the acting flawless. gene Tierney she was a knock out..George Saunders you loved to hate him...harry davenport a granddad we want to cuddle. and of course Tyrone power in my opinion the handsomest actor to grace the screen....even today. Son of Fury is really worth watching...it grabs you from the start. Bravo...to think these actors have all passed away...its our lost.

HarlowMGM Those who claim Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift were the screen's all-time most beautiful couple apparently have never seen Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney. SON OF FURY is a wonderful multi-genre picture that goes from British period piece to South Seas romance quite smoothly. The film's plot has been well-explained by multiple IMDb members so I'll just concentrate on the performances.The entire cast does fine work. Gene Tierney doesn't appear until a full hour as passed and her role doesn't require much except smiling and looking utterly beautiful and that she does to perfection. George Sanders (looking amazingly like John Wayne in the early scenes) has one of his most brutally villainous roles and he plays it without flinching, this is no character you love to hate, he's one scary SOB. This major 1942 film is also notable for giving breaks to two actresses who had been brushed off by many in Hollywood, the troubled Frances Farmer who plays Sanders' daughter (and Power's first love) and early talkie star Kay Johnson, making a very rare appearance, as Sander's wife. John Carradine has one of his most likable roles as a seedy castaway who turns out to be a great friend. There's also an exceptional performance from Harry Davenport (best known as Doc Meade from GONE WITH THE WIND) as Power's beloved grandfather.And I've saved the best for last, the one, the only Tyrone Power. Was there ever a more gorgeous man in movies? And SON OF FURY fairly revels in his beauty, his beautiful mop of thick black hair, his stunning profile, manly arms, friendly eyes and infectious smile. And as a bonus, there are numerous scenes of Power shirtless, running around the island in sarong-like swim-shorts. To top it all off, Tyrone is a fantastic actor, one of classic Hollywood's best. He would have been a superstar in any era.
