Review :
A Rather Well-Kept "Secret"
Colbert and Ryan give convincing performances in a rare and entertaining, if preposterous melodrama. "The Secret Fury" is often listed as a lesser 'film noir', and that pretty well suits it. Colbert's character is in a very 'noir' situation. But what situates the film firmly in the canon is a well-done night-time episode near the end. This suspensful and dark sequence begins with the Vivian Vance character and her unwelcome guest. Noir enthusiasts will know when they see this they are in their element.
Also of interest is the psychological explanation of the film's title: evidently many people harbor a kind of private rage, that can break out under the right circumstances.
The film is recommendable for the leads, the always wonderful Vivian Vance in a rare film role, and that memorable 'noir' episode.
