Finally on DVD
I waited a LONG time for this to come out on DVD. This is one of those rare 'Modern Era' westerns. I don't classify it based on being a movie or being made for TV, because a great western needs no classification, it stands by itself as this does. Next to Lonesome Dove this stands out as arguably the finest work of that modern era of westerns. Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot were of course BORN to play in this format. It is just too bad there aren't enough opportunities anymore for them to do that. Louis L'Amour of course has largely been responsible for some of the finest book to celluloid material ever. Ben Johnson, Glenn Ford, et; all combine their supreme talents in this one also.If you have not seen this...by some strange stretch or you are new to westerns and want to see the cream of the crop, you could do no better than this. A fine set and worth every minute of time you spend on a lazy weekend watching it. Excellent!
