The Tall T (1957)

Is Randolph Scott a great cowboy...or what? He's at his best bouncing lines off Arthur Hunnicutt and sparring with ultimate bad guy, Richard Boone. Chink, played by Henry Silva, is a cold one but deadpans a good line early in the movie:  "He's a talker, Frank."(you have to see it).  The Tall T is an often overlooked cowboy classic, based on a...you guessed it, an Elmore Leonard story.  I shows up on television in small waves, typically Encore's Western Channel.  Catch it the next time around.  The only odd thing about the movie is that a young boy is killed - you don't see it happen, you just find out about it later. It does make you hate the bad guys which bodes well for the good guy.
