The Naked Spur Full Movie

xGary X 22 Nov 2007

Another bracing western from the James Stewart/Anthony Mann stable sees Stewart as a rancher forging an uneasy alliance with an old prospector and an AWOL cavalry officer to bring outlaw Robert Ryan in dead or alive for the reward money. Stewart is one of the best when it comes to playing tough guys with a streak of vulnerability, and there's some great psychology at work; Stewart's crisis of conscience accentuated by Janet Leigh's divided loyalties and all the while, Ryan is constantly using mindgames to set the trio against each other. I could have lived without the schmaltzy soundtrack, but otherwise, quality stuff.

Com personagens antipáticos, linear e fraco em ideias este faroeste é algo esquecível.

Mann's best and most violently edgy film. Ever felt a raw spur to the face? Robert Ryan has. What is fascinating about this film is the limits ever character is pushed to so that they have to reveal their true nature. As a true genius of mise en scene the more Mann's characters become turmoiled and mistrusting the higher and more rocky the terrain becomes. Fantastic motifs and themes! Must see!

Jimmy Stewart is better than ever in this one.

"Sometimes I like to sit outside, by a window, and listen to music... like now," says Jimmy Stewart, sitting outside no where near a window, with no music being played. It's a very decent Western. Parts of it seem superfluous, and the second string acting is sub-par, but James Stewart is tip-of-the-hat good, as usual. For a better use of the Anthony Mann and J. Stewart one-two punch, watch Winchester '73.
