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