      Audience Member Another awesome Randolph Scott western here that I highly recommend James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, April 9, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/23 Full Review deke p RANDOLPH SCOTT! Good involved plot. He's so dreamy. Saw it on the GRIT network30.3, 3.2021 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member scott always adds a star on the rating of this popcorn western Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A strange and mildly entertaining western about a vengeful gunfighter on the man who publicly humiliated him by spanking him in public long ago and forbidding him to marry his daughter. The script is underwhelming and leaves the audience feeling cold about the aims of his 'hero'. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review dave j Tuesday, August 27, 2013 (1955) Tall Man Riding WESTERN Based on the Norman A. Fox novel starring Randolph Scott as Larry Madden coming back to a small western town to settle a score after he saving a life of a person he doesn't really like. Unlike the remade Westerns of "True Grit" and "3:10 To Yuma" at least this was a western movie that had never been done before even though they're hundreds and thousands of Western books these days instead of making something never shown on screen a Hollywood studio rather remake Westerns that are already good. The story touches on 'staking land claims', total corruption amongst sheriffs who are already bought, underhanded lawyers and misunderstandings regarding a relationship between the protagonist and the settlers. This movie in my opinion has a similar experience to a Randolph Scott/ Budd Boetticher movie not because it has a superficial ending. Solid 3 out of 4 stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Energetic Scott western with a weak supporting cast. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
