THE TALL T

Budd Boetticher's directed this Western that was actually selected for preservation by the National Film Archive. In it, cowboy Pat Brennan is held captive by a gang and confronts his fellow prisoner Doretta. The scene is a little cheesy, but I love the cowboy attitude.

You think nobody'll have you because you, you'll bite your lip and hang your hand. But let me tell you something. You're as much woman as any of 'em and lot more than most. But you got to realize, if don't think anything of yourself how do you expect anybody else to? If you can't, who can? You can't always sit back and wait for something to happen. Sometimes you . . . you gotta walk up and . . . take what's yours.
