The Tall T
Posted: June 10th, 2007, 8:27 pm
Here I am with two posts in a row on this thread, but after seeing Bringing Up Baby 99 times, I'm just not in the mood for #100.
Well, I've finally seen The Tall T, and I enjoyed it immensely, particularly because finally, here is a female lead of the right age, for Randy. Miss O'Sullivan fits into this movie like I would never expect her to. Even after being 'Jane' so many times, I never pictured her in westerns, but she does. Richard Boone was hard to figure out. You couldn't help but like him, even though it was obvious he was a slime ball, but his admiration for Scott was completely understood. Who wouldn't want to hang with a guy who had some sense, and maturity rather than two punks like he was latched to? Talk about violence however, I was shocked about the little boy. Can't say more, but imagination ran wild in this one.
I'm sure everyone knew right from the start what a jerk the husband was going to be, and I liked Randy's attitude toward Maureen during the movie. I won't say anything more because I don't know how many people have seen this one.
I'm looking forward to July when Randy is Star of the Month. TCM is playing a lot of movies I haven't seen, or only seen when I was younger. Wouldn't you know my VCR would be broken? But anyway, for some reason the Western Channel is also doing a tribute to him on June 30, so happily I should get a good snootful of RS in the next few weeks.
