Editorial Reviews

The powerhouse combination of star James Stewart and director Anthony Mann score another cinematic bullseye in The Naked Spur. Stewart plays a taciturn frontiersman who loses his home while he's off fighting the Civil War. To raise enough money for a new grubstake, Stewart becomes a bounty hunter in Colorado territory. His first quarry is fugitive, killer Robert Ryan. Stewart's efforts to bring in Ryan and collect the reward are compromised by the presence of Ryan's loyal girl friend Janet Leigh and Stewart's two disreputable sidekicks, wily prospector Millard Mitchell and disgraced Union-officer Ralph Meeker. There's plenty of "cat and mouse" byplay between Stewart and Ryan before the brutal climax; the drama is intensified by the fact that both men are on the outer rim of total insanity. The Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Naked Spur was cowritten by Sam Rolfe, who was later one of the creative forces responsible for the similarly no-nonsense TV western series Have Gun, Will Travel.

August 08, 2003: One of the more character-delving of the Mann-Stewart westerns. It just goes to show everyone that although Stewart portrayed idealistic, young men in the 1930's (brilliantly in Mr. Smith), after the war, he came back a different man with a different outlook on life. Anthony Mann knew this, like Hitchcock and Frank Capra. Jimmy Stewart is a hero\villain with his portrayal of a bounty hunter. A shocking role for Jimmy Stewart, the All-American boy next door, but he is extraordinary in this role. He has a rough, tough, and grid-iron outside but ends up being a very sensitive man with many demons at the end. The very last scene is the best of the film. Jimmy Stewart will definitely surprise you in this film (especially in the last scene).

June 03, 2003: This is third effort by Jimmy Stewart and the director Anthony Mann and it's their best work together. This film is great because of the characters study, which you don't see that in modern cinema anymore. The story will keep you guessing until the brutal climax. If you love Jimmy Stewart, or flat out great cinema, go check it out.
