Product: The Sacketts [VHS] (1979)
Rating: 5.0
Louis L'Amour At His Best
First saw this as released on TV, then bought the VHS tape, and finally now have the DVD.The movie is taken from two of Louis' better books: SACKETT, Bantam paperback, May, 1961; and THE DAYBREAKERS, Bantam paperback, February, 1960, both from his almost 2 dozen books on the Sackett, Talon, and Chantry families. In these inter-related books, Louis L'Amour hoped to tell the entire western saga. Sad to say, he did not live to finish the series. Happy to say, no one was ever hired to finish it for him. But the film version on this DVD represents two of the best books in the Sackett family saga. And no matter how many times you view this made for TV movie, the 2 books will continue to hold your attention, too.Doesn't get any better than this film. Sit back an enjoy.Semper Fi.
