Product: The Sacketts [VHS] (1979)
Rating: 4.0
The Sackett movie
I thought the movie was quite good. It stayed pretty close to the original novels, although, obviously having combined two novels in one, they cut out a lot, and condensed it. The one thing I didn't like about the movie was Ma Sackett's portrayal. She is shown, when Orrin and Tyrell are leaving the mountains, as being weak, and that doesn't fit with the portrayal in the books. Good acting on the parts of Jeff Osterhage, Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot. It would be nice if more movies were made based on these characters.
