The Naked Spur Full Movie

Eric R 24 Oct 2008

A psychological western about a man hunting down a criminal to collect the reward, but on the way he encounters two men who want in on the reward. Its a complex character study where every character in the film has a lot of dimensionalty. Jimmy Stewart gives a great performance as a obssessed bouty hunter who is facing his own personal demons.

The closest Anthony Mann and James Stewart ever got to the brutalizing psychological spareness of Budd Boetticher and Randolph Scott, with Stewart as a spurned and haunted bounty hunter chasing down killer Robert Ryan for a hefty reward. But it's not that easy when Stewart takes on two wandering partners, brash soldier Ralph Meeker, and grizzled prospector Millard Mitchell (in a classic Walter Brennan-esque performance), who demand a full split, and there's the matter of the feisty woman Ryan is running with, a young Janet Leigh. Mann's use of landscape, in this case, the snow-capped Rocky Mountains, comes to suggest the mounting anxiety and desperation in the Stewart character, as his greed and need for revenge begin to cloud his judgment (nothing a slowly budding romance with Leigh can't cure), and the western ethos of what exactly a life is worth, indeed, what a redeemed soul is worth, takes on a dark, urgent precedence.

I swear I can't remember the differences between the Jimmy Stewart/Anthony Mann '50s westerns. They all seem equally solid. And they all seem like the same movie.
