The Tuesday Western: The Naked Spur

on BBC Two England

continues the season of Holly-wood's classic Westerns starring
James Stewart Robert Ryan Janet Leigh
Bounty hunter Howard Kemp has been on the trail of Ben Vander groat, outlaw and killer, for weeks. His motive - the 5,000 dollars reward offered for Ben, dead or alive. Kemp is joined by two strangers - Jesse Tate , an old prospector, and Roy Anderson , a cashiered cavalry man. They assist in Ben's capture but demand a share of the reward money.
This intense and tough study of a hunted man and his greedy captors is strikingly directed and photographed on location in the Colorado Rockies.
