Review:
Rock solid western.
I’m starting to become a big fan of Joel McCrea. He is a consistently entertaining western hero. He his always believable. He gives a solid, tough performance in "The Tall Stranger", which is a solid, tough movie. It’s a fast moving and often a very tense watch. It’s well acted by the entire cast, especially Barry Kelley. I should watch this one more often. Honorable mention: a dreamy Virginia Mayo. Written by pmtelefon on imdb.com
