Tall Story
''Tall Story'' is a 1960 American romantic comedy film made by Warner Bros., directed by Joshua Logan and starring Anthony Perkins with Jane Fonda, in her first screen role. It is based on the 1957 novel ''The Homecoming Game'' by Howard Nemerov, which was the basis of a successful 1959 Broadway play titled ''Tall Story'', by the writing team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.
