5.0 out of 5 stars One of Williams best., July 4, 2000

The Fury easily ranks as John Williams most UNDERRATED work. It's haunting feel is unlike any other film soundtrack, and ranks (in my opinion), one of his top 5, if not his best (and that is saying ALOT). My only complaint is that the entire score is currently not available. Regardless, buy this... a MUST for any fan of John Williams, or music itself.

Like Williams's score to "Jane Eyre" and "Dracula," his music for "The Fury" deserves the re-mastered, full-length version. Several musical cues from the film are missing, indicative of the then common practice of releasing partial soundtracks due to the perception that movie score fans are an "insignificant" lot.

Thankfully, aficionados of film scoring have grown tremendously and "The Fury" ranks as a forgotten gem from one of the premier composers of the past forty years, a muscian with the awards to prove it.

Hopefully, a new version is in the works; but, until that time arrives, those that appreciate good scores will have to settle for this "truncated" release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Williams Score Surpasses Film, September 8, 2000

By 

Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fury (1978 Film) (Audio CD)

A good film composer can write a score that you will enjoy for a film that you will not. John Williams is a good film composer, and that is the case here. This film is not particularly to my taste, but the music certainly is. It is a gem of a film score that has not been accorded the attention which it deserves. It well rewards the listener.
