Wuchak on The Hangman

7/10 · Dec 13, 2021

This black and white Western, set in a town, features Robert Taylor and Ginger Rogers. The narrative centers on a stern marshal called ‘the Hangman’ (Robert Taylor) who arrives to capture a man (Jack Lord). He requires someone to identify the suspect and asks for help from a young woman having difficulty making ends meet (Tina Louise). Fess Parker portrays the town's sheriff. Despite being confined to one location and suffering from unremarkable black-and-white visuals, "The Hangman" (1959) boasts a solid story—the most crucial element. The film allows you to connect with the characters, resulting in an ultimately pleasant experience. Tina Louise was just 23 years old during filming, nearing her 24th birthday, and she appears lovely while also delivering a believable performance. A few years later, she would begin her three-year stint on Gilligan’s Island. Shirley Harmer is also worth noting as Kitty, the wife of Johnny Bishop. Fans of Robert Taylor should consider watching him in the leading role of “The Law and Jake Wade” (1958), a particularly strong Western from the 1950s. Running for just one hour and 26 minutes, the film was shot at Old Tucson, Arizona, as well as Paramount Studios & Ranch, California. GRADE: B/B-
