Flesh and the Spur

About This Movie

Flesh and the Spur is an interesting entry in the 1950s western genre. Directed by Edward L. Cahn, it features a young man's quest for vengeance as he hunts down his brother's killer. The film has this gritty, raw atmosphere, almost like it’s peeling back the layers of the Wild West. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm. The diverse cast—including a native woman and a traveling medicine man—gives it some unique flavor, and the gunfighter character brings that classic tough persona. It's not all action, there's a real exploration of brotherhood and revenge here, and the performances feel genuine, if a bit rough around the edges. Definitely a distinctive piece of western cinema for any collector's shelf.
