However,Tall in the Saddlearguably did come close.
Supporting Rocklin throughout the story is Dave, the old, woman-hating drunk played in classic Gabbie Hayes fashion.
Similar to Stagecoach, Tall in the Saddlehas many of the hallmarks of a great John Wayne Western.
In both movies, Wayne accomplishes this through an air of confidence and an almost stubborn pride.
This aspect of his persona also weighs heavily onStagecoach, as evidenced by his unforgettable introductory scene.
Rather than drawing his gun, Rocklin strode up to his opponent and knocked him out.
Tall in the Saddle is a western film starring John Wayne as Rocklin, a rugged cowboy who gets caught up in a range war between two rival ranchers. When he takes a job with one of the ranchers, he finds himself in the middle of a deadly feud, and must navigate treacherous alliances and romantic entanglements to survive.
