The Naked Spur (DVD)

The Naked Spur (1953) starring James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Ralph Meeker, Robert Ryan, Millard Mitchell. Bounty hunter (Stewart) is forced to team up with two strangers to capture wanted outlaw (Ryan). Trouble is, they have to take the outlaw back to Kansas, where he is wanted, and he is clever enough to sow dissension among his captors along the way. Leigh provides the love interest, and a lot of the tension. Ryan makes a suitably despicable villain. The movie was beautifully photographed on location in the Rocky Mountains. Subtitled in English for the hearing-impaired. Grade: B
