TEN Tall Men" is a fast moving adventure tale of the Foreign Legion which co-stars Burt Lancaster and a newcomer, Jody Lawrence, whose fiery acting and appearance have boosted her swiftly up the ladder of success to stardom. In film, Jody plays a Riff princess who is captured by Legionnaire Burt in hopes this will end the war. Jody tries many rough tricks to free herself and betray the Legionnaires, but after awhile, when the warm sands of the Sahara thaw her emotions she turns them on Burt. Left: Jody has her hands full keeping Gilbert Roland and all the other Legionnaires away. Gilbert Roland and Kieron Moore occupy themselves in behavior fitting Legionnaires as their lieutenant stalks by. Jody pits her strength against Burt as she surprisingly fights off his advances. Below: Stephen Bekassy plays Burt's superior officer, Mari Blanchard, the gal who gets Burt into trouble. The picture is strewn with luscious women. Below right: Burt makes play for Mari, his lieutenant's girl, and gets thrown into prison. He only gets out in time to be sent on a suicide mission. Right: Alluring Mari is the type of girl to make men volunteer for suicide missions. But here, such jobs and incentives are all in day's work.
