John Chard (Rated: 6)
Routine plot - efficient in execution, but beware of pan and scan monstrosity.
The Tall Stranger is directed by Thomas Carr and written for the screen by Christopher Knopf from a story by Louis L'Amour. It stars Joel McCrea, Virginia Mayo, Michael Ansara, George Neise, Whit Bissell, Adam Kennedy...
