Naked City on DVDNaked City: 20 Star-Filled Episodes (1963)
reviewed by Billy Ingram

There are 8 million stories in the Naked City... these are 20 of them.

20 of the best episodes of the early 1960s drama The Naked City arrived on DVD and it's very nicely put together, with pristine picture and sound.

This is a slow moving police hour set in New York City, native New Yorkers will be thrilled to see the city in all of it's pristine post-1950s vertical beauty. Many episodes, like 'Lady Bug Lady Bug', was filmed entirely on location and every storyline features the city prominently.

The allure of the show were the guest stars and they include William Shatner, Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Telly Savalas, Martin Sheen and many other notables.

Viewers of modern day dramas will likely find these shows preachy and dialogue heavy but that's what TV dramas were in the 1960s.

Fans of this series have waited a long time for a release like this one from Image Entertainment and they won't be disappointed. There is also a 40 episode 'Best of Naked City' collection available.
