The Tall Men Summary
Director: Raoul Walsh
Genres: Western
Rating:
Clark_Gable and Jane_Russell star in this rugged widescreen western, exquisitely photographed by Leo_Tover and directed by veteran action expert Raoul_A._Walsh. Gable plays Ben Allison, who with his brother Clint (Cameron_Mitchell) journeys to Montana in search of gold. They come upon wealthy businessman Nathan Stark (Robert_Ryan), whom they try to rob of 20,000. Instead, Stark talks Ben and Clint into becoming partners with him on a cattle drive to Montana. As the group travels to Texas, they come upon a party of settlers being attacked by Indians. They save the saucy Nella Turner (Jane_Russell) and she joins with Ben, who has been made trail boss, and Clint on the cattle drive. Ben and Nella are attracted to each other but after an initial fling, Nella rejects him -- Ben just wants enough money to buy a small ranch and Nella won't settle for slim pickings. Arriving in Fort Worth, Nella takes up with Stark, whose desire to make as much money as possible coincides with Nella's money-hungry ambitions. But when, at Stark's insistence, she accompanies him on the final trek to Montana, the seething friction between Ben and Stark erupts as the drive heads into dangerous Indian country.
