"Tennessee's Partner" is a 1955 Western film starring Ronald Reagan in what Peter Bogdanovich calls his "most likeable performance." It co-starred John Payne as Tennessee.

It was directed by Allan Dwan, who lived to be 96 and had a 52-year directorial career.

Tennessee's Partner is also one of the greatest short stories of Bret Harte's fiction career. Harte lived from the 19th to beginning of the 20th century. This film is based upon Bret Harte's work. The film was released by RKO, which was then owned by industrialist Howard Hughes, who was known for his support of political conservatives.

This film inspired one of the greatest hits of the Four Seasons. As the characterbased on Bob Gaudio explains in the musical Jersey Boys: ....I'm watching the million dollar movie. Some cheesy John Payne western. He hauls off and smacks Rhonda Fleming across the mouth and says, "What do you think of that?" She looks up at him defiant, proud, eyes glistening - and she says "Big girl's don't cry"
