Inspired by the highly publicized 1933 murder of department store heir Brooke Hart (also the basis for Fritz Lang’s FURY), TRY AND GET ME! (a.k.a. THE SOUND OF FURY) is a searing portrait of mob violence and moral collapse from blacklisted director Cy Endfield. Desperate, unemployed family man Howard Tyler (Frank Lovejoy) falls under the influence of small-time hood Jerry Slocum (Lloyd Bridges), who ropes him into a high-stakes kidnapping plot. When the crime unravels and ends in murder, Tyler finds himself facing the wrath of both the law and a local journalist (Richard Carlson) who uses his pen to stir public opinion into a bloodthirsty frenzy.
