Movie Monday: Fury (1936)
Today’s Movie Monday is centered around a pretty intense film called Fury. This movie stars the wonderful Spencer Tracy and a lesser known actress Sylvia Sidney. This film says a lot about society and I am going to break it all down in today movie review. Fury is a film not for the faint of heart.

Despite having more modern sensibilities, I wouldn’t say that this movie is interested in advancing any kind of agenda. Instead, Woman of the Year has a message to send to viewers about cherishing the people…

The story in this film is as timeless any other, and the acting is superb. This Movie Monday I will be reviewing this classic that has quickly become one of my favorites! Before watching Boomtown, I had never seen Spencer Tracy star in a film before. It wasn’t until see this movie that I realized just how talented this man was as an actor. The way he captures a rather simple, sometimes hard luck guy is as timeless as this film. He balanced out Clark Gables…
