  Amazon.com: The Naked Spur: DVD: James Stewart,Janet Leigh,Robert Ryan,Anthony Mann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The brutal The Naked Spur, their third collaboration, is generally considered their best work together and one of the finest Westerns ever made.
Of all of their great Westerns, including "Winchester '73," "The Man From Laramie," "Bend of The River," and others, probably the best film of their collaboration was "The Naked Spur," a story about a vicious, psychopathic outlaw captured by a group competing with each other to collect the bounty on the outlaw's head.
And sometimes, as in THE NAKED SPUR, Stewart would portray a man so driven by the difficulties that life has thrust upon him, that his greatest struggle isn't with his human enemy so much as it is with his highly tenuous grip upon sanity.

The Naked Spur (1953), the third of their five Westerns, is a critical favorite and, with the possible exception of Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958), the film that shows Jimmy Stewart at his most hysterical.
Throughout most of The Naked Spur, Stewart is as unsympathetic as the villain.
For Leigh, The Naked Spur was a major departure from the forgettable ingenue roles that MGM had foisted on her.

Yet, when he is talked about in the media, he is generally thought of as an actor who played one type of role: the nice guy.
The Naked Spur features Jimmy Stewart in a role completely different than what people would expect from him.
It's a western, which Stewart specialized in around this period, and it casts him as a desperate man out to collect a bounty on a man who used to be his friend.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
The Naked Spur, the most elemental Mann western and my favorite of all his pictures, has the most breathtaking scenery, including snowcapped mountains, rock formations, and green forest clearings in the Colorado Rockies near Durango.
As usual in such a fluctuating context, the role of the woman -- a feisty orphan (Janet Leigh) the outlaw has in tow -- is to represent all that's left of civilization, a value that's also prone to change as loyalties and ethical profiles shift.
In The Naked Spur, three white men and several Blackfoot Indians die.

 The Naked Spur
The Naked Spur was James Stewart and Anthony Mann's third western together and is widely regarded as their best collaboration.
The Naked Spur was shot in the Durango peaks, and the landscape through which this ragtag community passes is undeniably beautiful.
If The Naked Spur muddies the ethical waters of the traditional western, its rigorous exploration of the imperatives that impede decency and honour in an uncertain Cold War period looks forward to the pared-down gunfights and laconic discourse of Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood.

 The Man From Laramie - $8.70   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Only John Ford excelled Anthony Mann as a purveyor of eye-filling Western imagery, and Mann's best films are second to no one's when it comes to the fusion of dynamic action, rugged landscapes, and fierce psychological intensity.
The Man from Laramie is the last of five remarkable Westerns the director made with James Stewart (starting with Winchester '73 and peaking with The Naked Spur).
This collaboration marked virtually a whole new career for Stewart, whose characters are all haunted by the past and driven by obsession--here, to find whoever set his cavalry-officer brother in the path of warlike Indians.

The bulk of the movie is made up of this journey, as Ryan tries to turn his captors upon each other and fill them with distrust so he can escape.
The Naked Spur is a perfect movie—so perfect, in fact, that it’s easy to get caught up in the story and characters without noticing the many subtleties of craft that help make it a classic.
Mann’s opening static composition of a tranquil landscape swish-pans to a close-up of a man’s leg on a horse, centered on his boot spur.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Man From Laramie at Epinions.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In Mann's westerns (in order: Winchester 73, Bend of the River, Naked Spur, The Far Country, The Man from Laramie), Stewart generally played someone minding his own business, not very comfortable with women, not seeking trouble but not backing away from any that confronted him.
It is not immediately obvious that revenge is driving him from before the start of what is shown in "Naked Spur" and "Man from Laramie," but in both of them, like the other three, he is riled by affronts from others who impinge on him as he is trying to mind his own business.
Ruth Roman in that is less wooden than Janet Leigh in "The Naked Spur" or Cathy O'Donnell in "Man from Laramie" or Julie Adams in "Bend of the River." Shelley Winters surpasses this weak female competition in "Winchester '73," which is probably the tightest of the five.

 The Naked Spur (1953)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Naked Spur is a startling film, an adult western that pushes Jimmy Stewart's anti-hero to the brink of his own humanity.
A morality play in some respects, the film sometimes feels like what "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" would be if the gold was a living, scheming, malevolent human being - Robert Ryan fulfills this role and drives the film with his devilish prodding of the "partners."
At the film's shocking climax, it is she who pulls him back, just as he drags the body from the raging torrent.

 The Naked Spur
While primarily a Western, The Naked Spur has a strong Film Noir tone.
Aside from the five actors and their steeds, there are no other actors (excepting a brief scrap with some Indians) and no wildlife, just the beautiful, cold, hard mountains and raging rivers.
The Naked Spur is a great story and an excellent film.

Throughout most of "The Naked Spur" Stewart's character's (Howard Kemp) relentlessness and greed verge on psychosis, making Robert Ryan (who was himself a master of psychotic characters) seem a charming and almost altruistic in comparison.
Despite the interesting work by Robert Ryan, and the clever way in which the spur of the title becomes crucial, this is the least believable of the Anthony Mann westerns with determined James Stewart characters.
Lina, her character here makes no sense, though the fault must be shared between her lack of ability and the impossible role as it was written.

 Naked Cage-Night Slaves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Ryan is very good as the deceitful, smooth-talking outlaw who sets out to turn his captors against each other in order to secure his freedom, while Stewart always seems on the edge--he lost his wife and his ranch during the war, and seems consumed by hatred and bitterness.
The Oscar-nominated script was penned by Sam Rolfe (THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.) and Harold Jack Bloom, while William Mellor's splendid cinematography (THE NAKED SPUR was filmed entirely on location in the Rocky Mountains) is certainly worthy of Oscar recognition.
Girard's screenplay and direction is way too pretentious for its own good; it's unclear what is happening or why much of the time, but some of Culp's visions (he has them long before getting to the country house) are groovy, and the choreographed orgy dance sequence is fascinatingly bizarre.

Jimmy Stewart's career was doing great in 1950, and hardly needed a boost, but nonetheless, he agreed to appear in Anthony Mann's Western WINCHESTER '73, and the always superb Stewart's career took a new and more complex path.
That is especially true of THE NAKED SPUR.
Both at the beginning and the end of the movie, the hunters seek their prey in a locale higher than they are at.

The Anthony Mann-Jimmy Stewart Westerns in the 1950s infused the genre with a psychological intensity and psychopathic edge.
Stewart is a hard, angry bounty hunter tracking outlaw Robert Ryan in this lean five-character drama set in the deceptively beautiful mountain wilderness of the Midwest.

 The Naked Spur
Similarly the climax which takes place next to the raging torrents of a Colorado river overflowing after the rains is framed by the rush and roar of the water, and it is here that the most violent emotions of the film are displayed.
The Naked Spur is filled with powerful scenes like these and leaves the impression of a monumental moral drama with a tough, realistic sense of human morality.
Yet it cannot quite escape its generic roots, offering an easy 'out' for its dark but not irredeemable hero, leaving Leigh with little more than the usual female characterisation to work with, and despite (or perhaps because of) its fast pace, it fails to convincingly resolve some story threads involving the secondary characters.

During the 1950's James Stewart made a wonderful series of Westerns with Anthony Mann: 'Winchester 73,' 'Bend of the River,' 'The Naked Spur,' and 'The Man from Laramie.' This is perhaps the darkest of them.
THE MAN FROM LARAMIE is probably the finest Western that Stewart and Mann made together, though it gets serious competition from THE NAKED SPUR.
Howard Kemp in THE NAKED SPUR is a man so obsessed in his task that he borders on insanity.
