“u0026quot;Taggartu0026quot; was an enjoyable little western from u0026quot;B-plusu0026quot; department of Universal. It has the look and feel of an Audie Murphy western, however an excellent story and the crisp direction by R.G. Springsteen, make it a cut above the average.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTony Young plays the title character, a man wrongly accused of murder. Dan Duryea in yet another of his u0026quot;smiling cadu0026quot; portrayals, plays the chief villain. The biggest and most pleasant surprise is the casting of screen veteran Dick Foran as the heroineu0026#39;s father. Foran turns in an excellent performance, a fitting epitaph to his long career.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cast also includes Jean Hale as the heroine, Emil Meyer (Shane) as the town boss, Peter (son of Dan) Duryea and David Carradine as gunslingers and western favorites Ray Teal, Harry Carey Jr. and Bob Steele in other roles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Taggartu0026quot; is a good western.”
