Format:DVD
Words fail to explain how we've so enjoyed Lonesome Dove over the years.
Some caveats....
Sometimes in the last two movies the scenes seemed a bit slow--probably a result of the TV mini-series for which they were made.
It's important to keep in mind that the third movie, The Streets of Laredo, is set chronologically well after the first two movies. It is sometimes difficult to keep this in mind since the actors are portrayed as looking much younger than those playing their respective parts in the first two movies.
One unfortunate problem with this edition is that part two of the three parts was lost in production. That is to say, there are two disks, containing only part one and part three. Part two didn't make it in production.
The final movie explores the early years of Gus and Woodrow when they first became Texas Rangers. It is a pretty good movie, but little is done to show how such green boys developed such strong character. In fact, it might have been better to write the movie without reference to Lonesome Dove story-lines or characters.
All said, this package delivers a gazillion hours of enjoyment for a small cost.

I already had the first three of this set but Deadmans Walk did not appear to be available singly in the UK but the other old DVDs were well received by relatives who also enjoy a good western. Well produced and with down to earth recording of what life must have been like in the Old West it also reveals the acting abilities of the various actors and actresses who interpret the main parts their way.

The boxed set is excellent value.
These epics have not aged at all - a perfect balance of action with relationship studies. Even if you are not a fan of Horse Operas, you will get sucked into the lives of these characters.

Dead Man's Walk, featuring the young Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae, is a good yarn but the characters are so far detached in age, from the Woodrow and Gus of Lonesome Dove that... Read more
