Seeing Spencer Tracey this young is honestly a little disconcerting. But in seriousness, speaking to the director’s own sordid flight from Nazi Germany in 1933, Fritz Lang’s social issue movie about a man wrongfully-accused against a lynch mob is at once resonant, chilling and passionately constructed. His first film in a repertoire of Hollywood movies that harkens the birth of American film noir, “Fury” has not only aged well, but has done so in a way that only further accentuates the beauty and ugliness of its time-honored truth, storybook ending or no.
