(1957) The Tall Stranger
WESTERN
Veteran western actor Joel McCrea stars as Bannon who's coming back home after the civil war, and was for no apparent reason shot in the back before being left for dead, he was then picked up and saved by a traveling wagon train seeking for a place to settle down and was originally intending to head for California lead by a conniving Mort Harper(George N. Neise) who has different intentions other than the majority of the travelers and after someone else's cattle around the area. Virginia Mayo of "The Asphalt Jungle" also stars as the love interest. Clear 'black and white' western and less cheerful as the other Westerns McCrea had ever done with some inconsistencies. Great locales as well as the photography but done better before and not enough.
