Title: A bloated western
Product review: I really wonder what the other reviewers saw in this picture. Jane Russell with her unruffled skirts and coiffures belongs to an another film. She was O.K. with Bob Hope, but not with Gable and Ryan. This is one of the worst films made with a lot of money. The story is full of cliches. Brian Garfield wrote very harshly about it in his excellent guide about western films. The Tall Men is a "disappointingly hackneyed and mediocre, bloated far beyond its proper scale: overlong, underscripted, flabbily directed and downwright silly". I agree with his opinion.
