Well, when they back to you, just what I told you. Not if I can help it, he won't. She hesitates, then kisses him. That to hold him, Jeff. If he wins, he gets the bull. When Usher learns that Doretta is the daughter of a rich copper-mine owner, he decides to hold her for ransom. These sequels starred as Nick Prescott, the son of the town's sheriff who takes the law into his own hands when his father is killed in a suspicious car accident.
As Usher holds the coach passengers hostage, Brennan falls in love with Doretta and develops a risky plan to free himself and the Mimses, leading to a bloody final standoff. Willard then begins to ride off, but is shot down by Chink. If he loses he has to give up his horse. Since 1954 she had turned primarily to television work; following The Tall T, her big-screen appearances would be very few indeed. Soon, their stagecoach is hijacked by a trio of merciless bandits, led by the especially heartless Frank Usher Richard Boone. Pusser is seriously injured with a knife and receives over 200 stitches.
Afterward he rams a sheriff cruiser through the front doors of the Lucky Spot, killing two of his would-be assassins. Tension builds over the next 24 hours as Usher awaits a response to his demands and as a romantic attachment grows between Brennan and Doretta. Frank then returns with the money. Boetticher loved the stark beauty of this arid landscape. I was the only one who stay with him.
Well, it to me like a big land like you ought to be able to do as he pleases. Chink hears the shots and turns back. While the film was known as The Captives through production, before release it was retitled The Tall T, a puzzling choice. A coward, he does not even bother to say goodbye to his new wife, disgusting Frank. He then takes her in his arms. The result, The Tall T 1957 , was another raging success, and five more Boetticher-Scott films followed some, but not all, written by Kennedy.
They light a bonfire as an overwhelmed Pusser wipes tears from his eyes. Ain't a fit life off in the of nowhere. At the next station the coach and its passengers fall into the hands of a trio of outlaws headed by a man named Usher. Seven Men from Now offers moments of comedy punctuating an otherwise serious, suspenseful drama. Finally, he and Pauline are ambushed in their car.
The campaign is contentious against the incumbent sheriff who is killed trying to run Pusser off the road. Willard is told he is no longer needed and can leave. The star introduced Boetticher and Kennedy to Harry Joe Brown, one of the most respected producers in Hollywood, and a new partnership was born. Since we already know that Boone has no qualms about killing a freckle-faced 10 year old boy, we shudder to think of what's in store for Scott and his fellow captives once Boone carries out his plan to rob the next stagecoach. It ain't right, your that spread of all alone.

The next day, Pusser is arrested and represents himself at trial. Ain't no fit life at all. I can't to hire hands. Boone is fascinated by Scott throughout the story. When they stop at the way station, they are mistaken for the regular stage by three outlaws, Chink , Billy Jack , and their leader, Frank Usher , who have already killed the station manager and his son. Finally, Maureen O'Sullivan plays the leading lady, Doretta Mims, who with her new husband John Hubbard is kidnapped by Boone and his goons. The luck of Pat Brennan Randolph Scott is about to go from bad to worse; after gambling his horse away, he gets a ride from Willard John Hubbard and Doretta Mims Maureen O'Sullivan.
Pusser is betrayed by one of his deputies and is attacked several times. Scott plays a former ranch foreman who, along with newlyweds Maureen O'Sullivan and John Hubbard, is held hostage at a deserted stagecoach station by ruthless bandit Richard Boone and his henchmen Henry Silva and Skip Homeier. All these Boetticher westerns have exceptionally characterized and acted villains, and Richard Boone's performance here as Frank Usher is one of the series' best. There was another picture registered as The Captives, and rather than go to court over the title, some young executive in New York thought of The Tall T. Scott happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the bad guys hold Scott and O'Sullivan hostage while demanding ransom for O'Sullivan. They're to be in Bisbee, them rails, in a month. Brennan plants the thought that their ringleader might just ride off with all the money, so Chink leaves the camp to keep an eye on Frank.
Brennan loses, and is forced to walk home, carrying his saddle. Billy Jack and Chink are left behind to guard the hostages while Frank goes off to collect the money. However, he turns around and comes back and tries to kill Brennan with a rifle, forcing Brennan to shoot him dead. Harry Joe Brown and the Columbia executives weren't so sure, however, questioning whether Boone had the requisite sense of humor to pull off the role. Any in that well of yours, I am. Pusser is elected, and becomes famous for being incorruptible, intolerant of crime, and for his array of four-foot which he uses to great effect in dispatching criminals and destroying their clandestine gambling dens and.
