Pre-Order The Naked Spur (Warner Archive) (1953) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

But thats what makes it so good. None of the characters are really likeable.

I never said anything against how good or great of a movie it is. I'm saying it's the reason why I don't love it. I accept why some people love this movie, I just wish those same people accept that others might not feel the same way.

The fifties completed the cycle with the valedictory performances for Mann and Hitchcock!

I'm with Robert, I guess I just prefer "loveable" Jimmy.

We are fortunate to have had a Jimmy stewart . One of a kind

"Strategic Air Command" is such a strange "propaganda" piece....ending with Jimmy Stewart staring out of the window of that general's office knowing his baseball and flying careers are over. Hardly the best way to get men to return to service, but whatever. The Olive blu-ray looks great...pure VistaVision!

Yes it is a bit strange but it sure looks great. I would have loved to see it on a huge screen and projected with a horizontal print with Perspecta sound!

Received my copy today. Possibly the best or one of the best films warner archive had put out considering how bad it was initially. Unbelievable. Makes the movie even better now that it's the way it was intended to be seen.

And I just checked this out on Amazon. As of today, The Naked Spur ranks first in sales of western films and 84th out of all movies and tv.

I just got a notice from Amazon that my copy has shipped earlier than initially estimated. It'll be delivered tomorrow.

You won't be disappointed I promise you. If warner can remaster this movie the way they did I truly pray they do the same for friendly persuasion, last summer (in some capacity), and The wild bunch.

I have not received this yet as i ordered this and a night at the opera using reward points on amazon but am looking forward to getting it next week.

I read an interesting email on the dvdbeaver web site for the review of the dvd aug 15th 2006. It is always assumed that Warner works its magic for these blu ray releases but it appears that Warner had a similar print to the blu ray a few years before the 2006 dvd release and chose to release the trashy looking print on dvd instead. I wonder why George Felltenstein would have done that?

Email sent to dvdbeaver back in 2006:

"NOTE: (sent from email) - 'I just wanted to let you know that I saw a screening of "The Naked Spur" at the American Cinematheque a few years ago here in Los Angeles. Your are right to think that the transfer and print on the new DVD are muddy and sub-standard. In the beautiful print that was screened -- the colors POPPED. Sorry that this DVD isn't all it could have been.' (Thanks Matt!)"

I just finished watching this film, for the first time. GREAT presentation! Wow, the disc just looks FABULOUS! I thought the film was good, not great, and Robert Ryan totally stole the show. Loved every Rocky Mountain minute of it.

Amazon has finally shipped my Blu-ray so I'll have it tomorrow.

Edit: I just checked my tracking information and it's coming from Calif, so it's probably going to be after tomorrow.

Wow, my Blu-ray is already in Michigan so it looks like I'll be getting it today after shipping from Cali yesterday along with some other stuff I ordered.

At times, there is no rhyme or reason why some get their discs in a timely manner while others have to wait like they're in Casablanca trying to get out of there in 1942.

Yeah I ordered it awhile ago with Santa Fe Trail and both show in stock but they list delivery for Wednesday and they haven't shipped. I ordered Night at the Opera later so maybe they are waiting for that to combine it.

Getting mine Saturday (supposedly)

 

[Daniel Melius]

I ordered mine a couple of mins after it was avaiable to order and will be getting it at the reduced price of 17.99 but i will have to wait until sep 29th as i am one of those that gets punished for not having amazon prime. They hold off for a week after release day before they will ship. I can wait.

After all its free with my amazon rewards card along with a night at the opera, dinner at eight and little rascals vol 3. Im using my card to fund my house remodel and pay it off before i get charged interest. Im getting a ton of rewards so free movies for a long long time for me.
