Audience Reviews for Tall in the Saddle

  • Mar 15, 2011
    the duke puts in a solid performance as almost always, there's some light comedy but the plot's a bit disjointed

    Just a really likable movie with great characters and a unique mystery element that westerns don't always have. John Wayne presents such a great character, being a lot more of a traditional nice guy than a tough talking bad boy. For not being a huge movie, it's shot extremely well and it's not really dated. No corny characters or goofy costumes, it's all pretty perfect. I love the romance between John Wayne and Ella Raines, it has chemistry to say the least.

    The movie comes along at a good pace, Ella Raines makes it worthwhile. Not one of John Wayne's best work.

    Standard oater with nothing to distinguish it from the dozens of other run of the mill westerns that Wayne made throughout his career.
