The Naked Spur (1953)

 Anthony Mann directed Western has only five characters in it.  James Stewart is after a bounty, circumstances bring Ralph Meeker and Milliard Mitchell in as his assistants, together they apprehend outlaw Robert Ryan and the young woman (Janet Leigh) traveling with him. Psychological games are played, troubled pasts reviled, it's like a drawing room noir played out in an open wilderness. An a typical genra offering. ***
