“Romantic westerns are a subgenre in themselves – they arenu0026#39;t to everyoneu0026#39;s taste as the reviews here show – but for me there is so much chemistry and fire between Clark Gableu0026#39;s Texan and Jane Russellu0026#39;s Nella that itu0026#39;s hard not to swept away with it all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is an epic one: a couple of bothers, ex-soldiers, rob an easy pigeon of $20 000, only to be offered instead the chance to earn five times as much by driving cattle the 1500 miles from Texas to Montana. As they head to Texas they rescue Russell. Russell is fun, feisty, and fiery as the woman who wants to dream big and wonu0026#39;t settle for Gable with bigger fish available.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just love this movie – it has all the elements of the Hollywood western and there is a charm and ease to it that make it a great watch. All in all, with Russellu0026#39;s passing there are few of the old Hollywood left but with films like The Tall Men to remind us we can at least have a glimpse of their stature from a time when everyone went to the cinema all the time.”
