If you loved The Naked Spur, try Man of the West

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Anthony Mann, and they sit in Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Naked Spur, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Man of the West is

Shane without redemption. A reformed gunslinger traveling by train is forced to reconnect with his outlaw past when a robbery goes wrong. Gary Cooper embodies the anguish of a man caught between violence and civility.
