Naked Spur [VHS] Naked Spur [VHS]

Reviews

Naked Spur is one of those B westerns produced in the 50s when westerns were at their peak. Although this period did produce some classic films, in general they were disappointing, and specifically, to this film, very disappointing. The film is basically a film about greed. To me it is reminiscent of 1948s "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". In that film, 3 prospectors (Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and Tim Holt) turn against each other on a long journey to town after they discovered gold. In this film, 3 cowboys turn against each other on a long journey to town in order to collect a $5000 reward. The difference is that "Naked Spur" has Robert Ryan as the wanted man who spurs the conflict, while in "Treasure" there is no visible cause. The film stars Jimmy Stewart. Stewart is a film icon. He was nominated for an Oscar 5 times, winning once ("The Philadelphia Story" in 1940). He had 2 BAFTA nominations (Anatomy of a Murder", "The Glenn Miller Story") and 3 Golden Globe nominations including one win ("Hawkins" in 1971). Twice he won the New York film critics award ("Anatomy of a Murder" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington") and he also gave us such memorable performances as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". Stewart worked extensively with Alfred Hitchcock and together they made "Rope" (1948), "Rear Window" (1954), "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956), and "Vertigo" (1958). The film is directed by Anthony Mann. Mann originally specialized in film noir in the 40s (e.g., "T-Men", "Raw Deal") but starting in 1950 with "The Furies" he began to make westerns and put out a dozen, although he still on occasion, made other types of films (e.g., "Strategic Air Command", "God's Little Acre", "El Cid"). Mann received 3 DGA nominations ("El Cid", "Men at War", "The Glenn Miller Story"). Naked Spur is the third of eight collaborations between Stewart and Mann, five of which were westerns. Their first film together,"Winchester 73", is the best of their western films, and it was this film that established Stewart as a major star who could command cast and director approval as well as receive a percentage of the profits. Mann brought his film noir sensitivities to the western genre, and this blend produced a western that was distinct from the Ford ("Fort Apache", "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon") or the Hawks ("Red River", "Rio Bravo") films as well as the films of Budd Boetticher (" Commanche Station", "The Tall T"). Though Ford and Hawks tended to use John Wayne, Mann used Stewart and Boetticher used Randolph Scott. Rarely did one of the directors use one of the stars used by the other director (notable exception being Ford using Stewart in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"). Unfortunately, the blend of film noir and westerns has rarely worked well. Raoul Walsh's "Pursued" (1947) and Nicholas Ray's "Johnny Guiitar" are exceptions to this rule. While noir westerns per se were not terribly successful, they did help turn the traditional western into a more balanced genre. One can only imagine that "The Searchers" (1956) would not have been possible without the influence of the noir westerns. Robert Ryan co-stars as the killer who Stewart is trying to take back to Abilene for trial. Ryan made nearly 100 films over a 30+ year career. He was nominated for an Oscar ("Crossfire", 1947) and a BAFTA "Billy Budd", 1962) and won an NBR Award ("The Iceman Cometh", 1973). Ryan was a favorite of film noir directors, working with Nicholas Ray "On Dangerous Ground", 1951) and Robert Wise ("Set Up", 1949). He often played military roles ("Dirty Dozen", "Longest Day", "Battle of the Bulge") and westerns ("The Professionals", "Bad Day at Black Rock"), and I think his best role was in Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" (1969). Ryan's performance in "Naked Spur" is one of his poorest performances of his long career. His villain is far too convivial and his attempts to create conflict are so self-evident it's hard to believe that this script was filmed. Janet Leigh plays a simple girl who latches on to Ryan as a substitute father figure. We all know Leigh from her role in "Psycho" (1960), but she made more than 50 films and gave us memorable roles in "Touch of Evil" (1958) and "Manchurian Candidate" (1962) among others. She made 5 films with her husband Tony Curtis, and appeared twice with her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis. Leigh's in this film is comical. She seems to fall in and out of love in every other scene. Millard Mitchell plays an old prospector who teams up with Stewart to bring Ryan back and split the reward. Mitchell appeared in more than 30 films and won the Golden Globe for "My Six Convicts" (1952). He gave us memorable performances as Gregory Peck's commanding officer in "Twelve O'Clock High" (1949) and as the movie mogul in "Singing in the Rain" (1952). He gives the only good performance in this film. Ralph Meeker plays a dishonorably discharged cavalry man who joins up with Stewart. Meeker appeared in more than 50 films and as many TV programs, but never attained more than B status. His performance here is similar to his performance in other films - nothing really distinguished but certainly adequate. One of the few good parts of the film is the scenery. Mann is famous for his use of landscape, and this is another one of his prime examples. The film was a box office success, as were most 50s westerns, and most films with Jimmy Stewart. It received a nomination for Best Screenplay, but didn't win. Fans of the western can find hundreds of better films. Fans of Jimmy Stewart can find dozens of better films, even from the non-westerns he did with Mann. Fans of the other stars will also find that their favorite actors can be seen in much better films. Even Anthony Mann films can find better films elsewhere. There is simply nothing to recommend this film.

James Stewart is angry, obsessed, and scary in this essential Anthony Mann western. The landscape is the most amazing and menacing element of a compelling story set in an ounfriendly environment with a spare but superb cast.

The tagline for this movie at IMDB says "Packed with Technicolor Thrills!" - and this is exactly the case. After seeing a few Technicolor movies produced in the early 50's (notably - "Picnic" by William Holden) I'm inclined to view Technicolor as much more than just a color film process, it's rather a state of mind. Everything is hyper about Technicolor films in general and "The Naked Spur" in particular, starting with the color - and all the way up to human wickedness and charged sexuality. No production code is ever violated in "The Naked Spur", but it's so suggestive and powerful in its sexual undertones that even the wonderful Colorado landscapes add to this sexual appeal. "The Naked Spur" was produced long before anybody heard about PC, so the woman's role in this film is totally secondary and submissive. Even the happy end scene where Lina agrees to become Kemp's wife is very much a show of woman's transferring her allegiance to a powerful winning male. At the very end Kemp generously decides to spare Lina's sensibilities and not to take Ben's body to the authorities to claim bounty, but this happens already after Lina accepted his proposal. There are four male characters in the movie, and all of them're wicked to various degrees. Kemp, who's supposed to be a "good guy", does not really become one until well into the movie, and even at the very end he does not look spotless from the moral viewpoint. All others are plain bad, and the authors make no excuses, blaming human nature, which takes the first opportunity to follow greedy impulses to commit any crime. "The Naked Spur" is much more than a western, it's a psychological drama. Excellent script, superb performance by all cast, very professional camera work, beautiful scenery - the movie is a pleasure to watch.

I RECEIVED THE DVD IN EXCELLENT COND. AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WILL DO BUSINESS WITH THIS VENDOR IN THE FUTURE

"The Naked Spur",shot in 1953,an entertaining "western adventure". This James Stewart classic is loaded with bold scenery,rolling hills, and rocky river streams,the cinematography alone is worth the price of admission,added to that is the fine acting of James Stewart as a amateur bounty hunter searching for an old acquaintance wanted for murder. Along the way the bounty hunter meets up with a dishonorably discharged soldier(Ralph Meeker) and an old prospector(Millard Mitchell)both are wanting a piece of the action to share the profits. The wanted man is(Robert Ryan)and after being captured he has different ideas - to escape the hanging rope waiting at the end of the line,escape to California with the beautiful blonde(Janet Leigh)he has forcefully taken under his wing. Will the three captors bring the outlaw to justice? The answer lies within the "The Naked Spur". - filmed in glorious colour,excellent transfer,full screen,Warner Brothers DVD.

Reviews

"The Mind and the Matter" is an episode that the modern person struggling against the rapid pace of the world can relate to. In the sixties, the catch phrase was "Stop the world, I want to get off." Archibald Beechcroft is an office worker-bee that hates people but must tolerate them and their noise in order to survive. A bumbling co-worker gives him a book about the power of concentration to change your life so he concentrates on the thought that there are no other people. To his surprise and initial delight, Archibald discovers that he is the only person left. Out of habit, he goes to work but there is of course no work to do there. He quickly becomes lonely, so he concentrates on another wish that will make the Earth crowded again, unfortunately his solution is once again worse than the initial condition. Stand-up comic Shelley Berman does a very good job as Archibald, while not really an actor, he brings the right amount of angst to the role. Unfortunately, it is a story where you can relate to the situation but understand the absurdity of Archibald's solution. I found the idea of wishing all the people away too far out for even "The Twilight Zone." "Back There" is another in the long list of stories where the main character goes back in time in an attempt to change history. Peter Corrigan has spent the evening discussing the concept of time travel at a gentleman's club. When he gathers his possessions and steps out the door, he encounters a period of dizziness, from which he quickly recovers. However, the world does not recover, for he has been transported back in time to Washington D. C. on April 14, 1865, the day actor John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. It is the middle of the day, well before the evening when the shooting took place. Recognizing the significance of the moment, Corrigan tries to warn Lincoln, but is dismissed as a drunk and tossed in jail. When a kindly man takes pity on him and gets him released, Corrigan is grateful and relieved. The man claims to be interested in diseases of the mind and listens to Corrigan's story. However, the man is actually John Wilkes Booth and he drugs Corrigan's drink so that he will pass out and not be able to interfere with the assassination. Corrigan comes to, recognizes that the fatal wound has been delivered and is transported back to the sidewalk outside the gentleman's club. He pounds on the door and is finally granted admission by a waiter that he has never seen before. Corrigan goes inside and meets a man whose position has been significantly altered by his trip to the past. Therefore, Corrigan learned that he did change history; just not the specific points that he wanted to alter. The concept of time travel is fraught with an enormous set of contradictions and logical paradoxes, yet it is such a tantalizing subject that many writers use it as the fundamental premise of their stories. This one is pretty good; having Corrigan's benefactor be Booth himself is a plot element that heightens the story to the point where it is interesting. "Spur of the Moment" is another time travel story that can be described as one in the "If I knew then what I know now" class. Young 18-year-old Anne is riding her horse on her father's estate when she spots a woman dressed in black riding a black horse. The woman screams and charges her horse down the hill at Anne, causing her to flee in terror. When Anne gets back to her home, her new fiancé (a stockbroker) is there with her mother and father. After taking some time to recover, Anne learns that her former fiancé, an intense man with a fiery disposition, has arrived and demands to see Anne. He forces his way into the house and after some scuffling, is led out the door. Anne finds herself still unable to choose between the two men, her heart wants her to go to the fiery man and her head insists that she marry the stockbroker. It turns out that the black apparition that young Anne fled from is Anne herself many years in the future and after she has made a bad marriage decision. The "black Anne" is trying to warn young Anne about the mistake that she is about to make. All of us make decisions that we deeply regret and wish we could change. What is good about this episode is that the knowledge is there but the two Anne's never really communicate so that history continues to flow on the proper path. Therefore, there is the universal appeal of hindsight without the ability to do anything about it. "The Old Man in the Cave" is a bad episode; the inconsistencies and weaknesses overwhelm the message. The time is 1974, ten years after an all-out atomic war has turned most of the Earth into a radioactive wasteland. A small community has barely managed to survive by following the advice of an oracle called "The Old Man in the Cave." Village leader Mr. Goldsmith travels to the cave and receives replies to his questions regarding what canned foods are safe and where is the best place to plant their crops. Although the people are malnourished, they have managed to survive when hundreds of millions have died. Suddenly, four soldiers arrive in a jeep, led by Major French. The major is a cynic, demanding that he be allowed to see the "old man" for himself. His attitude infects the other townspeople and when they learn that the "old man" is in fact a computer, they attack and destroy it. The soldiers and all the townspeople other than Mr. Goldsmith gorge themselves on the food and drink that the "old man" said was radioactively contaminated. Shortly after this, they all die leaving Mr. Goldsmith as the sole survivor. The story is ultimately a sad one, not only because it is based on the premise of a horrific atomic war, but also because the people so quickly turn on the computer that has kept them alive for ten years. The outsider military authority quickly assumes power and leads a mass suicide of the people.

Reviews

I was really disappointed by this DVD because it only has the games that the spurs WON and only of the finals for each year. I wanted the infamous series with the Lakers when Kobe CRIED once the chump lost after winning three championships in a row and that series was not included at all. I wanted to see the series with Dallas where the benchwarmer Steve Kerr shot three-pointer after three-pointer to save the game. I expected to see the game that San Antonio played against my boys, the Detroit Pistons, and Tim Duncan sat disgusted in himself although they went on to win the series. There was so much more that I wanted to see than just the games that they won in all four championships! I mean, I enjoyed seeing the winning games but if the authors or producers of the DVD had explained that it was only a DVD that showed the winning games then I would not have expected the entire series that mesmerized me year after year. I am an avid Spurs fan because they loose as gracefully as they win. They set the standard as a team for good sportsmanship - unlike my first favorite team, when they are against any team other than the Spurs that is - and I wanted to see it all. I wanted to experience it all again, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I payed almost $100 for this set with shipping included and I was VERY disappointed.

Great Dvd box if you are a Spurs fan. Alle the games the Spurs won in each of their finals. Also very cool to have David Robinson one of my idols on dvd. A must have for a Spurs fan.

The sole possibility of viewing each single game that lifted the San Anotnio Spurs to glory is priceless! You have to have this if you're a Spurs fan and if you like Basketball overall it's a purchase you won't regret.

I've been a Spurs fan since David Robinson was drafted by the team back in 1989. Prior to that, I had no allegiance to any other team. That five-year-old in me really believed that I would be in position to see my favorite player, and team, win championships. Sadly, that wasn't the case for many years. Sure the Spurs improved greatly with David, but a couple years before Duncan came along, the team was the laughing stock of the league again. But when Tim Duncan was drafted, there would be no more embarrassment and only Ws. Thus the title runs began! Here, in this 8 volume, 16 disc set, you can relive the San Antonio Spurs 16 NBA Finals wins that labeled them a dynasty and the team of the last ten years! These are the 16, commercial-free, wins in their four NBA Finals trips. Each game will run, approximately, two hours in length with coverage at the beginning, and a quick re-cap at the end, of each game. However, this set, I feel has a disappointing area in it...what happened to the awesome Spurs players' entrances? I can remember the stunning visuals and music from all four Finals appearances and the 2005 and 2007 entrances are the ones that stick out the most, for me, as being the entrances with the best visuals and music. Everything else is included, but why not the awesome entrances? I also wish that there was a bonus disc, or some extras added on to each disc, with players and coaches talking about their season that year and that specific Finals appearance. The 8 volumes come in a very great-looking case but it's only made of really thin stock cardboard. It would have been nice if it was made of much thicker stock. One more minor gripe, why couldn't we also get the games in which they lost? We, fans, know what the outcome of each NBA Finals appearance was so we wouldn't mind seeing the games in which they lost. The reason for getting those games, as well, is to fully experience those three Finals appearances in which they lost, at least, one game. It would completely bring us back to the 1999, 2003, and 2005 seasons. But having just the 16 games in which they won is a blessing in and of itself. It's an excellent addition to your four Spurs championships DVDs that the NBA releases a month after each championship. These games will take you back to the glory years of 1999, 2003, 2005, and, just recently, June of 2007! This is a MUST-HAVE set for your Spurs fan and, with Christmas right around the corner, it'll make a great gift! Hopefully, this isn't the last we're going to see of future Spurs championship sets! GO SPURS GO!

As advertised all 16 games in good quality video, but nothing else. The only wish is they would have used the local broadcasters as the play by play analysis, like they have on the Championship Dvd. However, Van Gundy is hilliarous durning the 2007 championship finals, and I hope he stays in the broadcasting business. Overall it was great to watch the progression of Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. At one point Bill Walton chastizes the Nets for leting a bench player like Manu get one over them, while Parker gets benched for Speedy Claxton. By 2005 Manu is the most popular name for new borns in San Antonio, and in 2007 Manu is apart of the Big 3. Parker of course wins the 2007 Finals MVP. One interesting fact Manu was actually drafted in 1999, makes you wonder what if he had started in 1999 for the Spurs. If there where extras, the lottery coverage of 1997 for Tim Duncan, proir the the bouncing of the lottery balls to the hype right before San Antonio chooses Tim Duncan and the hat fitting. And though this would be a separate DVD collection these games: 1. Tim Duncan defeating Kobe and Shaq in Game 2 of Conference Semi finals of the 98-99 season. Duncan won that game with 8.9 seconds left down by 1. 2. Sean Elliot's Miracle 3 versus Portland in Game 2 of the Conference finals. (98-99 season) 3. Horry of the Lakers misses a 3 pointer in Game 5 of the Conference Semi finals. (02-03 season) 4. Kerr hits 4 big tres on the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 of the Conference finals. (02-03 season) 5. Though almost breaking the amount of penalties every called in a game, Parker comes through in OT against the Nuggets in game 4 of the first round (04-05 season) 6. Timmy hits a last second buzzer beater versus the Sonics in game 6 of Conference semi finals (04-05 season). (best playoff series, very competitive it was more like football games) 7. Horry for 3 this time in the 1st round versus the Nuggets in Game 4. (06-07 season) 8. Manu shows he is always clutch versus the Suns in Games 6 of the Conference Semi-finals. (06-07 season) I didn't mention the finals because NBA Champions edition is, however if they wanted to, Go ahead put Game 5 of 2005 Finals, and either the last games of either of the Spurs finals. I would perfer a home game versus the Nets or the Pistons, but to be fair there where not many close games when the Spurs are playing at home.

This six movie collection by James Stewart is great! I had seen these movies in my younger years, when they would be new in the theatre. I wanted them to add to my movie collection. I love watching good movies over and over. James Stewart is worth seeing over and over. "The Spirit Of St. Louis" really gets to the insight of early aviation.

some of these movies (the naked spur and spirit of st louis) are a complete waste of time. The FBI Story is enjoyable but full of fbi propoganda and not centered toward what actually happened.

This was a awesome buy me & my husband loved every movie and it was delivered the very next day....we are so happy with this purchase.

James Stewart has always been recognized as one of the great American actors. His depth is explored in this set--from the likeable Lindberg of 'Spirit of St. Louis' to the accident-prone schlub in 'The Stratton Story', Stewart displays his ability to connect with the audience. The one film where he tries to play against type--'The Naked Spur' finally ends with Stewart's character being likeable--even after spending the entire film as an embittered man. Anyway, a nice group of films from one of the great American talents.

Jimmy Stewart ... one of the greatest actors, AND Americans ever !! This is a very nice collection of six of his movies, with The Stratton Story and The Spirit of St. Louis being two of his best. Of course, you will need to also purchase "Harvey", and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence", in order to view his two VERY bests.

Few Hollywood stars have the reservoir of goodwill that James Stewart enjoys; even in his so-so vehicles he's delightfully worth watching. That premise is tested by James Stewart: The Signature Collection which, with one exception, contains none of Stewart's really important pictures...

Tuli's Heavy Duty Heel Cups Tuli's Heavy Duty Heel Cups

My husband is on his feet 10-12 hours per day, six days per week, and he was experiencing pain in his feet to the point of being almost unable to walk, particularly in the mornings. His doctor said he suspected plantar fasciitis. I'm a runner, and I know that there are numerous readily available treatments for plantar, so I decided to try a few (including these heel cups) before we invested in expensive, medically-prescribed orthotics. These heel cups and a pair of arch bandages appear to have solved the problem. My husband never complains about foot pain anymore. He's so pleased that he asked me to get a pair for his son. May not work for everyone but it definitely worked for him.

I'm an avid walker, and I have Plantar Fasciitis and a Heel Spur, probably my own fault because of wearing cheap flats over the past few years, and not stretching my calf muscles before my daily 3 mile walk. These heel cups helped some, but not enough to get excited about them. I don't know why they couldn't be made in clear instead of green so they wouldn't show at the top edge of my shoes. These also don't seem to stay in place in my shoes. Several times a day I have to take my shoes off and re-position the cup as they tend to slide down towards my toes.

I run and play tennis and these really work well. Yes they are slightly bulky but I use them in athletic shoes and not dress shoes. If you have heel pain the only other device is the gel heel cup and these wear much longer than the gel cups. If there is a minus it is that your heel cannot breathe so don't wear them all day.

The reviews of this item seemed great, so I ordered a pair. Unfortunately, they are too bulky for my tennis shoes and they cause my heels to slip up and down in my shoes.

I am a middle aged runner and for about two years have suffered with terrible pain in my achilles tendon. I iced it, stretched it, wore night splints, rested it, stretched my calves wore a Dr Scholls gel pad. Nothing brought relief. I purchased these heels pads and it was like a miracle ! I'm running again pain free. I have been increasing my mileage and the intensity of my workouts with little or no pain. They worked for me.
