Roger P @RT64451904 08/05/2024 I'm big fan of John Wayne and I think this one of his best films. He firmly established his movie persona as a tough, honest do the right thing hero that will be his trademark throughout his career. The supporting cast provides classic Hollywood cowboy stereotypes and are played exactly right. Yes, John has played his character throughout his early career, but, Tall in the Saddle, raises it to a much higher level.

See more r 9 @RT00952237 06/03/2020 An OK film, but one that I didn't overly enjoy. I mostly like the premise of 'Tall in the Saddle', with it including a lot of aspects you'd expect from a western. It's quite an entwined story, though I'd say it pays off to a decent degree. I, personally, would've liked more action and improved pacing. John Wayne is, as predicted, the star of the acting lot. It's a fairly laid-back performance from Wayne, probably necessarily so given his character's nature. Away from him, I'm struggling to recall any other noteworthy performances; not that it includes any badness in that area. Ella Raines (Arly) and George Hayes (Dave) are good, I guess. I just needed that extra something for me to have fun with this. See more 08/06/2018 I love tall in the saddle. It is such a true western classic. And John wayne is one of my favorite actors. Tall in the saddle has got a great story line and everything about the movie is absolutely good. Ward bond was also good in it as well. See more 02/16/2017 John Wayne is a cowboy that finds himself buffeted by strong currents in a town where more is going on than meets the eye. A RKO cheapie that is a real surprise package. Very entertaining with some likeable characters, albeit a little cliched, and some nicely done suspense. The plot does get a little shaky toward the end though. Wayne and Ella Raines throw off plenty of sparks whenever they are together. See more Read all reviews
