Will you take my boots off?

Hawks, it’s adapted for the screen by Frank S. Nugent & Sydney Boehm from a novel written by Heck Allen (as Clay Fisher). Filmed out of Durango, the cinematography is by Leo Tover in a CinemaScope/DeLuxe production and Victor Young provides the score.

Montana Territory 1866

“They came from the South, headed for the gold-fields….Ben & Clint Allison, lonely, desperate men. Riding away from a heartbreak memory of Gettysburg. Looking for a new life. A story of tall men-and long shadows.”

The Tall Men has professionalism written all over it, from the tight direction by Walsh to the on the money writing, it’s a Western that has no pretencions. The panoramic vistas are beautifully realised by the makers and in spite of Russell’s flat style of acting, the cast put credibility into the cattle drive and romantic aspects of the story. Tho action sequences are few and far between, the film succeeds because of the well written characters and the landscapes that frame them. There’s even much comedy to enjoy as well, a department where Russell does earn her corn in the movie (there’s also a bath moment to get us boys hot under the collar too). Most notably the comedy works for her when playing off of Gable who seems to be enjoying himself as the rough, tough and cheeky Ben Allison. Very talky to be sure, there are for instance many extended scenes of our lead protagonists swapping dialogue, but it all serves a purpose and in the capable hands of Walsh the sequences serve to drive the narrative forward.

Solid enjoyable stuff if ultimately a touch too long. 6.5/10

Freshly discharged from the losing side in the American Civil War, brothers “Ben” (Clark Gable) and “Clint” (Cameron Mitchell) set out to rob wealthy businessman “Stark” (Robert Ryan) but instead of stealing from the man, they agree to help him on a tortuous cattle drive bringing steers from Texas where they are cheap, to Montana where they can increase their investment twentyfold. Along the way, the brothers come to the rescue of the strong-willed “Nella” (Jane Russell) and soon she has her hooks well and truly into Gable – making their already treacherous trip now even more lively! This is quite an enjoyable story to follow, the trials and tribulations faced by the travellers from angry Sioux and an hostile environment make for quite an exciting story, with Gable on good form and Ryan, likewise, giving one of his more engaging performances. The dialogue has had some thought put into it too – some of it is quite pithy with the banter between Gable and Russell quite amusing at times. It is too long, though – there are periods where the pace is just way to sluggish and I couldn’t help thinking that, though, adequate, Jane Russell isn’t quite right for the part – feisty, yes, but somehow just a bit too flat. Still, it’s at the top end of the genre with plenty going on and featuring some stylish and grand cinematography.

484th Review: One of my very favorite Romantic Westerns
Romantic westerns are a subgenre in themselves – they aren’t to everyone’s taste as the reviews here show – but for me there is so much chemistry and fire between Clark Gable’s Texan and Jane Russell’s Nella that it’s hard not to swept away with it all.

The story is an epic one: a couple of bothers, ex-soldiers, rob an easy pigeon of $20 000, only to be offered instead the chance to earn five times as much by driving cattle the 1500 miles from Texas to Montana. As they head to Texas they rescue Russell. Russell is fun, feisty, and fiery as the woman who wants to dream big and won’t settle for Gable with bigger fish available.

I just love this movie – it has all the elements of the Hollywood western and there is a charm and ease to it that make it a great watch. All in all, with Russell’s passing there are few of the old Hollywood left but with films like The Tall Men to remind us we can at least have a glimpse of their stature from a time when everyone went to the cinema all the time.
