This is an especially pleasing piece of news and one I'm delighted to pass on. Anthony Mann's movies with James Stewart rate as some of the finest works in the canon of classic Hollywood westerns. The Naked Spur has been available on DVD for a good many years but always looked a bit indifferent, and it's a movie which doesn't deserve to be described in such lackluster terms. Fortunately, and after what feels like a very long wait, it has been announced that the Warner Archive is bringing this important film out on Blu-ray on September 21. It's a movie I have the highest regard for and I look forward to seeing it looking its best.
I wrote a piece on this film many years ago, which can be found here.
