Lonesome Dove began life as a Larry McMurtry screenplay written for the big screen, with John Wayne, James Stewart, and Henry Fonda in mind for the roles of aging Texas Rangers Gus McCrae, Woodrow Call, and Jake Spoon. That too-good-to-be-true project never happened, and McMurtry shelvedthe story for some years and then revived it as a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The latter was subsequently adapted for the glorious 1989 televisionminiseries starring Robert Duvall as Gus, one of the most endearing andheroic figures to come out of Old West mythology, Tommy Lee Jones as theequally noble but taciturn Woodrow, and Robert Urich as their fallen comrade,Jake. Set in the late 19th century in a sleepy Texas town, we meet Gus andWoodrow long after they put their days of settling the West behind them. Busy as cattle ranchers yet spiritually idle, the two head out on one last great adventure to set down new stakes in Montana, a journey that is fraught with terribledangers, reunions with old loves, and unexpected collisions with destiny. An exemplary and moving Western drama with magnificent performances from Duvalland Jones (and great support from Anjelica Huston, Rick Schroder, DannyGlover, and Diane Lane), Lonesome Dove paved the way for threesequels, two of which are in this collection. Streets of Laredofeatures James Garner this time as Woodrow Call, who is hired by a railroad company to track down a young criminal and comes face to face with his ownpast. The other is Dead Man's Walk, a powerful prequel in which wemeet Gus (David Arquette) and Woodrow (Jonny Lee Miller) as young men and Rangers recruits, facing their first challenges together. The jewel in thecrown of this collection is the original film, but the other titles arehighly enjoyable and bring a sense of sweeping narrative to theproceedings. --Tom Keogh

Lonesome Dove is one of the finest Western films I have ever seen. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are top notch in this movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed this group of genre.I read a lot of historical fiction, and it was most entertaining to learn so much about Texas and surrounding areas during the 1800's.

Rating: - Lonesome Dove
Lonesome Dove depicts all the hardships of the old west.The misfortunes: sand storms, snake invested waters, andthe strength of the men on these drives is all present.Tommy Lee Jones portrays his character perfectly.Robert Duvall has never had a dull acting moment. The love of the old west and the disappointments are all present in this mini-series.I would highly recommend Lonesome Dove to anyone, even to those that do not enjoy westerns.Jill
