Tall in the Saddle

John Wayne's 1944 western Tall in the Saddle is available to watch online on iFILM. Director Edwin L. Marin delivers a compact frontier story: cowboy Rocklin rides into a small Texas town expecting a foreman's job and finds his employer freshly murdered.

The ranch has passed to two women — spirited Clara Cardell and her nervous aunt. Rocklin flatly refuses to work for women and goes looking for other employment, only to learn later that he's the legal heir to the whole property. Local officials and the sheriff are already carving it up. Wayne plays a man whose stubbornness nearly costs him everything he's entitled to — a harder character than the usual straight-shooting hero, and more interesting for it.
