    Product Description
    Movie DVD

    Amazon.com
    Louis L'Amour's easy voice with its gentle rhythm sets the tone and pace of the film in a spoken introduction to this loping, rambling three-hour-plus TV-movie adaptation of his novels The Daybreakers and Sackett. Sam Elliot stars as the elder Sackett, a nomad hunting and trapping in the mountains who happens upon an ancient treasure. Tom Selleck and Jeff Osterhage are his younger siblings, forced to leave home to avoid a Hatfield and McCoy situation. As the Sackett brothers wind their way across the Midwest prairies and mountains we join them on cattle drives and gold hunts, in gunfights and fistfights, and in a climactic showdown as they find their place in the world. This 1979 film rambles and meanders like a lazy river winding through a beautiful landscape of peaks and plains and forests, punctuated by the occasional gunfight and enlivened by a story that celebrates both the open range and the taming of the towns. Elliot looks almost young but flashes his savage eyes behind a thick black beard, while Selleck's easygoing manner is backed up with a stony-faced determination. The excellent cast includes a veritable who's who of Western character actors: Glenn Ford, Ben Johnson, Gilbert Roland, Gene Evans, Jack Elam, Slim Pickens, L.Q. Jones, Mercedes McCambridge, and Pat Buttram. Followed in 1982 by The Shadow Riders, which reunited the three stars and even a few members of the supporting cast in a tale of three different brothers. --Sean Axmaker

    3 out of 5 stars Too little payoff for the viewing time invested   April 6, 2009
    Jim Davis (Maryland Heights, MO USA)
    1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    This feature does have good qualities. The casting is spot on, the cinematography great, the character development good. It has the "feel" of a good western epic. One doesn't get the impression that any corners were cut.

    Unfortunately, the pacing is glacial. There just isn't enough story to fill the 193 minutes of screen time. Worse, one of the story lines is wrapped up far too quickly despite the extensive build up it was given. The other story line conclusion is far more satisfactory but the wait seems interminable.

    In short, this story could have been done on just one of the dvds. Not a bad western by any means but definitely flawed.

    5 out of 5 stars THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE ROMANTIC WESTERNS!   February 15, 2009
    Teresa (NORTH CAROLINA, USA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I remember watching this movie years ago, and I just loved it! If you like westerns, with handsome cowboys, and pretty ladies, then this movie is for you!

    It is about three brothers who at different times in their lives ,decide to head west to start a new life, and as fate would have it, with all the odds against them, all three brothers, end up finding each other again. One of my favorite characters in the movie ,is Ben Johnson, he is a outstanding actor, and Glenn Ford was awesome, and I love Sam Elliott's beautiful deep voice, and Tom Selleck's charm, and handsome grin! And the youngest brother Ty, he is simply a heartbreaker!

    I loved the type of men that the Sackett brothers played in the movie, men who have a sense of honor and respect, and who are good people ,trying to live right in a harsh world. You would not believe all the trouble, that these brothers get into!

    This item was purchased as a gift for my father. He was thrilled and pleased with the compilation.
    For the Westerners at heart (like my father) this is a great buy! I am not into Westerns so can't offer my own comment.
