'Naked Fury' doesn't have much (enough?) to it, but it sure ends up delivering entertainment. I was mildly enjoying this 1959 flick all the way through, though it is the ending that knocks it up a notch for me. I wasn't expecting such an action-y finish, but I certainly approve! Reed De Rouen is a good choice as the leader of this particular group, he gives the best performance here. I rate the rest of 'em too, especially Arthur Lovegrove, Alexander Field and Leigh Madison. Kenneth Cope chews the scenery a touch but is still solid enough throughout. Oh, and the score is pretty nice too. All in all, a movie I had a suitably fun time with; even if it could've done with having more meat on the bones.
