Fury at Furnace Creek

Fury at Furnace Creek is a western melodrama with feuding brothers and a greedy empire builder.

After the excellent portrayal of Doc Holliday in My Darling Clementine (1946), Victor Mature takes another rare shot at a western. I'll probable like him in anything, so that I liked him in Fury at Furnace Creek (1948) comes to no surprise. But it's clear this does not reach the level of Clementine, neither production wise, nor character wise. The focus isn't precise enough. But it's a solid western rework of Four Men and a Prayer (1938).
