The Tall Men (1955)
4/10
DULL...LETHARGIC...MISFIRE
5 August 2021
Absolutely Nothing Works in this Laborious Big-Money, Technicolor, Cinemascope Western.

All the Stars are too Old for Their Roles. Robert Ryan is Totally Wasted.

Jane Russell Removing Her Boots (multiple times) is Meant to be Sexy.

Clark Gable Looks Lifeless. Cameron Mitchell is Miss-Cast.

The Action is Lackluster and the Pacing Torturous. The Movie Looks-Good and that's about it.

A Big-Budget Misfire of Gigantic Proportion.

Most of the Film Appears to Take Place in Slow Motion. The Romance is Icky, the Men May be Tall...But That's All.

Director Raoul Walsh and Clark Gable Stand-Out in this Weak, Over-Blown Western, circa 1955 as Belonging in Another Time and Place.

It's a Dud, and Fans of the Cast and Director are Better Served Skipping this, because Overall it's just Embarrassing.
