Movie Reviews of The Naked Spur

Movie Review: classic struggle between good & evil
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of Jimmy Stewart's best. It is the struggle between good & evil men & each of their own conscience's on what's right & wrong. Stewart struggles with the task of bringing in a killer for the money to make his life right again after being wronged emotionally & financially. Robert Ryan makes a conniving evil presence. My favorite line is when the prospecter partner of Stewart's tells Ryan, "I was thinkin." & Ryan replies "Jesse that always was your weak spot." The struggle to bring Ryan in for the bounty & how to divide it while Ryan divides the partners plays out against some of the most beautiful Western scenery you will every see. To use the cliche a must have Western.

Movie Review: One of the Great Westerns
Summary: 5 Stars

Tough and uncompromising, "The Naked Spur" (1953) is a classic Western with James Stewart and director Anthony Mann at the top of their game. Stunningly filmed in the Colorado Rockies, this psychological bounty-hunter odyssey makes the most of Sam Rolfe and Harold Jack Bloom's Oscar-nominated screenplay. Excellent performances by Robert Ryan, Janet Leigh, Ralph Meeker and Millard Mitchell prove an ideal match for Stewart's emotional intensity. William C. Mellor's Technicolor cinematography deserves the highest praise. Along with "Winchester '73" (1950), the finest of the Stewart-Mann collaborations.

Movie Review: The Naked Spur-DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Wow...Jimmy Stewart, what more do I need to say! This is a romantic western, and I certainly am enthralled by the unassuming beauty of Janet Leigh. That it is not filmed in a western town environment, makes no difference. The scenic views and natural background of the flowing rivers and streams makes this surreal. It is a very good romantic western movie featuring one of my all time males western stars. However, I can see where Jamie Lee got her great looks, as her mom is a real beauty in her own rights.

Movie Review: James Stewart Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

The best print you will ever see. The Naked Spur has an enthusiastic cast lead by hard-nosed bounty hunter Stewart and a great cast of supporting characters. Janet Leigh is great as always as is Ralph Meeker and Millard Mitchell but it is Robert Ryan who has the most fun.
The scenery is awsome.
Get it now!

Movie Review: Classic James
Summary: 5 Stars

Director Mann and James Stewart together again with Great Co-star's. Robert Ryan,Janet Leigh and Ralph Meeker. Our hero James is amateur Bounty Hunter looking for Robert Ryan to turn him in for the reward so he can get his ranch back and this is a must buy for your James Steward collection.
