The Tall Texan

The Tall Texan is a 1953 American Western film directed by Elmo Williams and starring Lloyd Bridges, Lee J. Cobb, Marie Windsor and Luther Adler.[2]

It was the only film directed by Elmo Williams, who said he had 50% of the profits but gave these away to attract the star cast. He says the film made a lot of money but he "never saw a dime".[1]

Williams says he asked producer Robert L. Lippert for some extra money. "I thought we had a tag for a couple of thousand dollars", he said. "He said, 'I don't care if you have a beginning, a middle or an end- you're going to finish the picture now I'm calling back part of the crew.' And he did."[1]
