 | I read a transcript of an online chat some people had with Warner Brothers at thedigitalbits.com the other day and Warners has said they expect to release THE NAKED SPUR on DVD sometime in 2006. I just thought i'd pass this on. It looks to me like this year and the next couple of years will be banner years for the dvd owner. I see where THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY and ISLAND IN THE SKY will be released on DVD in a few days. This tells me that some rare and hard to find films (like SPUR and others) will finally be getting a really nice home video release in the near future. PLEASE show your support and buy these discs if you can. Let's tell the studios to keep digging into those vaults!! |
| Rating | | | Date | December 20, 2004 | | Summary | One of my twelve best western choices any time ! | Content
| Curiously this film is not a simple western . It goes far beyond .
Robert Ryan to my mind made the role of his life as the crude but smart villain who establishes a clever dialogue extremely exciting through the story which works out splendly , but Anthony Mann the same of Men of the West , undoubtedly his masterpiece , created a very special icon inside this genre .
Just a few westerns have created its own personality through the time .
Consider the following western films : Ride the high country , The wild Bunch , The Ballad of Cable Hogue , Seven men from now , Warlock , The Searchers , Tombstone , Stagecoach , Men of the West , Johny Guitar , Once upon a time in the west , She wore a yellow ribbon , High Noon , Rio Bravo , The big country, Open Range , The life and times of Judgre Roy Bean , Sundance Kid , The Ox Bow Incident and this movie have such level of original force which literally overpassed the classic genre to constitute the western elite and far beyond .
That is the colossal artistic height of this outstanding film .
Leigh is splendid as always and Stewart credible as the Good Guy .
Formidable and extraordinary picture .
Do not miss it under no pretext . |

| I remember a few years ago watching on tv this movie for the first time. It is an outstanding western. One of the best westerns I have ever seen. Jimmy Stewart and Janet Liegh are great. I'm a sucker for romantic duos-Stewart and Liegh work very well together. I want very much to see this movie again. It is a movie that can be watched more than once. The movie is a keeper for a DVD collection. Unfortunately, the movie is not available on DVD. I'm waiting anxiously for the movie studio to release Naked Spur on DVD. In the meantime, I can purchase it on VHS. I can't wait to see it again! |

| ,,,is "generally considered their best work together (Anthony Mann-Jimmy Stewart) and one of the finest Westerns ever made". That has to be THE reason why, although out of stock in VHS, it's the only one not yet released on DVD. The studios are really too busy getting all the crap released first....What a shame (I don't think they know the meaning of this word).... |
