Amazon.com essential video Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, aging cowboys and former Texas rangers and who organize a 2,500 mile cattle drive for one last great adventure in this excellent 1989 miniseries adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel. The best friends, who steal the herd from a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers, drive their herd from Texas to Montana, battling horse thieves, angry Indian tribes, and a renegade half-breed killer named Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest) on a mission of revenge. The excellent cast also includes Robert Urich as cardsharp and former Ranger Jake Spoon, Anjelica Huston as McCrae's old flame Clara Allen, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, Diane Lane, Chris Cooper, D.B. Sweeney, Steve Buscemi, and even a small role for author Larry McMurtry. Australian director Simon Wincer shows a tremendous capacity for balancing sweeping drama and intimacy against the gorgeous landscape of the American Southwest, giving a grandly epic feel to the film despite its small-screen target and limited budget, and for forging memorable characters of even the smallest supporting parts. The heart of the drama belongs to McCrae and Call, memorably etched by Duvall and Jones as the last of the range romantics. In the age of revisionist Westerns, this excellent cattle-drive drama nicely maintains an old-fashioned feeling while still showing the dark side of the American West. Winner of seven Emmy Awards and responsible for two miniseries sequels (Return to Lonesome Dove and Dead Man's Walk) and a TV series. --Sean Axmaker

Good show. March 1, 2010 William Beck (Cali) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I enjoyed watching this show. Some parts are very drawn out and could have been skipped in the series.
Best Western of All Time...on BluRay February 25, 2010 M. Hancock 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having watched LD countless times since it first came out ( not to mention reading the book twice) I didn't think there was any way it could be improved on. But when the remastered, Bluray, 5.1 came out, I jumped. Glad I did. It's like watching it for the first time again. Great transfer and audio. Worth the purchase price.

We really liked Lonesome Dove so much that we ordered Return to Lonesome Dove, too.
We enjoy the movies about the olden days.
