    _**Town-bound B&W Western with Robert Taylor and Ginger**_ An uncompromising marshal known as ‘the Hangman’ (Robert Taylor) rides into a town to apprehend a suspect (Jack Lord), but needs a witness to identify him and so enlists a struggling young woman (Tina Louise). Fess Parker plays the sheriff of the town. While "The Hangman" (1959) is a town-bound Western and hindered by the flat B&W photography, the story is good, which is the most important part. You get to know the characters and the film leaves you with a good feeling. Tina Louise was only 23 during shooting (almost 24) and looks great, not to mention a convincing actress. Five or six years later she would start her 3-year run in Gilligan’s Island. Shirley Harmer is also notable on the feminine front as Kitty, the wife of Johnny Bishop. If you like Robert Taylor, be sure to check him out in the eponymous role of “The Law and Jake Wade” (1958), a standout 50’s Western. The movie is short & sweet at 1 hour, 26 minutes, and was shot at Old Tucson, Arizona, and Paramount Studios & Ranch, California. GRADE: B/B-
