#RubyDee in the period noir-esque suspense thriller directed by Anthony Mann, THE TALL TARGET (1951). A memorable performance in a substantial role.
(Gown by Walter Plunkett for June Allyson in LITTLE WOMEN (1949), reused in THE TALL TARGET worn by Ruby Dee.)
#SummerUnderTheStars #SUTS ✨
I repeat. I stan.
I remember being blown away by #RubyDee the first time I saw THE TALL TARGET (1951). She was stunning! Her story contribution, her screentime, her elegance. My imagination immediately created a filmography for her had the times been different, from period pieces to noir.
