Wissenswertes
The wood paneled burgundy convertible driven by Paula in the film is a 1946 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country. These cruisers weighed over two tons, and were 218 inches long, 15 inches longer than the longest sedans produced today. The Town & Country cars were virtually coachbuilt inside and out, and their prices reflected this slow method of production. Despite prices that rivaled Cadillac-a base of $2,725 in 1946, some 8,368 New Yorker Town & Country convertibles found willing buyers during those three years.

Patzer
At 40 minutes in, when Tom Hanson (Burt Lancaster) pulls up to where Paula Haller (Lizabeth Scott) is and parks, the car is at an angle to the walk, but then all of a sudden it is parallel with the walk.

Zitate
Paula Haller: What did you tell her, Judge? That there's really no difference between us, that you're one of Fritzi's partners? That you make your money the same way Fritzi does except you get paid off in back alleys so that you can stay respectable?
Fritzi Haller: Oh don't talk like that! The Judge...
Paula Haller: Judge! Even the title's phony.
Fritzi Haller: He's trying to be nice, he said he'd talk to her.
Paula Haller: He's been talking to her ever since I was eight years old.
Fritzi Haller: Well you're not eight years old anymore.
Paula Haller: No. I used to cry when I was eight.
Fritzi Haller: But you don't cry anymore?
Paula Haller: No, I'm like you now Fritzi. I'm getting more like you every day.
Judge Berle Lindquist: Like mother, like daughter, two very charming...
Fritzi Haller: Oh shut up!

Lots of fury and lots of Technicolor in early film noir...

Probably the most distinguished feature of DESERT FURY is the spectacular Technicolor Paramount lavished on it, a story of personal conflicts among Nevada's gambling set. Another distinguished feature is MARY ASTOR as Fritzi, a hard-boiled dame who runs a gambling establishment and keeps a tight leash on her willful daughter (LIZABETH SCOTT). Scott is strikingly photographed and reminded me of a more animated version of Veronica Lake.

But complications arise when two men pay too much attention to Astor's daughter--JOHN HODIAK (a no good hunk who may or may not have murdered his wife) and BURT LANCASTER as a wary police officer who keeps Lizabeth Scott on his radar at all times.

It's fun as melodrama, nothing more or less, and at times achieves something of a camp classic with Astor's butch performance as she effortlessly steals the film's acting honors. Take it or leave it, it's all in good, steamy fun with lots of fury going on under those hot Technicolor lights.
