Despite a big name cast - including one of my personal favorites, Robert Ryan, and guidance by experienced director Raoul Walsh, The Tall Men disappoints.
Jane Russell seems perplexed by her role which calls for comedic ability the shapely lady lacks. And don't get me started about all of her singing/disrobing. Add to the romantic mix Clark Gable on autopilot.
Wasted in limited scenes, Cameron Mitchell and Ryan liven things up a bit but not enough to save The Tall Men. I wonder what happened behind the scenes of this dud Western.
