The Forsaken Westerns - The Tall Man - tv shows full episodes

The Tall Man western TV series perhaps pilot episode starring Michael Rennie, William Phipps, Henry Brandon, Harry Dean Stanton, Baynes Barron, Jean Willes, Ellen Corby, John Cliff, I. Stanford Jolley and Earle Hodgins this looks like a pilot episode of a suggested TV series titled The Tall Man from 1958. The copy we transferred from 16 mm film says it is part of the anthology series Screen Directors Playhouse. But there is no record of it airing on that show. IMDb states that this is part of the anthology series Decision airing July 27, 1958. But the description says the show states this - "A man becomes suspect in the mysterious death of a minor". After you watch this episode you will plainly see that is not what this episode is about. Many times pilot episodes that could not find a sponsor would be leased out to anthology series for a place to air. This is episode 95 of The Forsaken Westerns, an original TV series produced by Westerns On The Web along with The Westerns Channel Productions. In this episode A train is robbed and Colonel T.J. Allan is hired by the railroad to find the Dawson Brothers whose outlaw gang robbed the baggage car of $50,000.00 and killed many of the train crew. Along with his Orderly Les Henderson, Colonel Allan sets out to outsmart and apprehend the outlaws. The Forsaken Westerns series contains episodes of TV shows that were never broadcast or have not been broadcast in as many as 70 years. Almost lost forever, these rare television film treasures are now being released and uploaded for viewing from the www.westernsch... archive collection.

I love how they found the wanted men and how he tricked Stanton into thinking the gun was loaded. Most of all I like how he took care of the vigilantes.

Could u PLEASE find and share episodes of the the Ĺawman, I already searched for it to no avail 😢 Thanks for having an only western channel.

[@westernsontheweb]

We would love to have Lawman on our channel, but Warner Bros. controls the rights to that show and we do not have the legal right to upload the series. There may be some subscription networks online that have it available.

Not long after this pilot was made, Michael Rennie would go from being The Tall Man to The Third Man...not a western, but based on the movie that was in turn based on a novel. (The show aired in first run syndication from 1959 until about 1965.)

[@Paladin1873]

I remember watching it with my parents. Rennie played a much reformed Harry Lime and Jonathan Harris played his assistant (several years before he became Dr. Zachary Smith on Lost In Space).

[@prycerobertson4695]

@@Paladin1873 Personally I would take Rennie's Lime over Orson Welles. The latter's portrayal of Lime was rather sinister...and did not survive toward the end of the film.

[@Paladin1873]

@@prycerobertson4695 In some ways "The Tall Man" pilot is similar to "The Third Man" TV series, only set in the Old West.

Cool 🤠funny…. I remember this…

I believe it is episode 4 of Decision. Someone just put in the wrong plot description on the IMDB site.

[@westernsontheweb]

Yes as I said it is listed as episode 4, but the description is not correct. It possible that there is another episode titled The Tall Man that is completely different from this episode. It is also possible that this did air on Decision. There are 13 episodes of Decision. It was a summer replacement for The Loretta Young show in 1958. Many if not all of the episodes were pilots that did not get picked up.

[@dosmundos3830]

@@westernsontheweb I doubt it, IMDB just made a mistake. Michael Rennie was 6' 4", he WAS the tall man. they even referred to him as the "tall friend" in the episode. there isn't going to be another episode called the tall man that is completely different with the exact same cast and characters. c'mon man lol

[@Paladin1873]

The old western movies and TV shows played fast and loose with the truth. The Dalton Gang did not even exist before 1890 and they got pulverized in the 1892 Coffeyville, KS raid.

It’s called “poetic license “.
