- "In Awe of this Classic Show!"
I just started to collect this series one month ago. Now I own all volumns avaliable. This 4 episode DVD is a classic. "Prime of Life", dealing with an execution of a deserving killer, is pure writing/acting genius at it's best! This was done over 46 years ago & sure beats anything on TV today. From the photography, music, location setting, the styles of the day--add these qualities into top-notch writing & it's a winner all the way. It's like Film Noir in a tv show for many of the episodes. The ... Read More

- Four stories down, 7,999,996 to go
I'm kind of hesitant to give five-stars to four episodes of one old television series, but NAKED CITY: PRIME OF LIFE presents a strong sampling of a remarkable series. If it matters the episodes on this dvd aren't presented in chronological order.

The first is `Prime of Life' (originally aired Feb. 13, 1963) and features Paul Burke as Det. Adam Flint, a New York City policeman out of the 65th Precinct, who has been summoned to witness his first execution by electrocution. This ... Read More

- Hold for Spider-Man
"It's a treat to see so many gifted actors at the beginnings of their careers, especially with such literate material. Let me especially single out "Hold For Gloria Christmas," the story of a dying poet struggling to send a precious gift to the future..."

Naked City was filmed on the streets of New York and this episode proves it in a strange way. In two scenes, the action takes place around a newsstand, in both cases, those mostly in the first one, you can clearly see some of the magazines ... Read More

- A series of rare depth, power & humanity
It's astonishing to watch these stories, created during the early 1960s, and realize just how much TV was capable of providing when talented writers, actors & directors were allowed to tell real stories. Even with the restrictions of the culture in general & the networks themselves, TV could produce true quality that both entertained & left the viewer with food for thought.

It's a treat to see so many gifted actors at the beginnings of their careers, especially with such literate material. Let ... Read More

- my favorite TV series all-time
Not only was this a groundbreaking series for such hits as "Hill Street Blues", but it had a profound effect on me as an adolescent, with its humanistic view of cops and criminals alike, its bittersweet and emotional musical theme, all the NYC locations, and especially the great scriptwriting. There is no doubt in my mind when I say that "Naked City" is my favorite series of all.

It featured so many actors who would go on to become superstars like Redford, Hackman, Duvall, Hoffman, Coburn, Hopper, ... Read More
