Tall in the Saddle Ratings & Reviews

Mister ArnJuly 8, 2025
“Tall in the Saddle” features John Wayne as a drifting cowboy who rides into a storm of land disputes, corruption, and romantic sparks. It’s a strong showcase of Wayne in his prime, tough, steady, and unshakable, with a mystery-driven plot that keeps things moving. But it’s Ella Raines who brings the fire, playing a fiercely independent woman who won’t be pushed aside. Her scenes crackle, and the tension between her and Wayne gives the film its edge. While some of the gender dynamics are undeniably dated, the film remains a sharp and compact Western in its own right.
