Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, I'm not a huge western fan. I was burnt out by my dad's rabid taste for the old B&W serial westerns of the 30s, 40s and 50s. Same tired stories and lame acting over, and over, and over again. But that's not to say I don't appreciate a well done movie, whatever the genre. This is one. I bought this for mom, who loves all things Selleck, as part of the Tom Selleck Western Collection. I thought I'd seen this as well as the other two films (Monte Walsh, Crossfire Trail). I was mistaken about this one. It was a pleasure to see the Carradine brothers together and a very young Haley Joel Osment as Selleck's (Paul Cable's) son. Suzy Amis is excellent in her role as the take-no-guff frontier wife who feels her marriage may be over due to the changes the civil war has bestowed on her husband's psyche. He is disillusioned by the atrocities of war he witnessed and deeply saddened to learn of the loss of his youngest daughter during his absence. I won't go into further detail as it's been done exceedingly well by others here. Suffices to say the writing, acting and all other aspects of this movie are very well executed. I would recommend this movie and the Tom Selleck Western Collection to those who consider themselves fans of fine movies.
PS: I only gave this 4.5 stars not to dis' this excellent movie, but to note that there are better westerns IMHO. True Grit, The Shootist, Open Range, Sons of Katie Elder, Shenandoah (always makes me cry) are all as good or better in some cases.
DVD Review: Universal Studios Greatest Finds: Tom Selleck & Sam Elliot
Summary: 5 Stars
Last Stand At Saber River is one of my favorite roles that Tom Selleck plays. The man not only knows sacrifice but he shows it also. Crossfire trail has my favorite script and is my favorite western ever made.
Tom and Sam are true cowboys to the bone and I am so thankfull to Universal studios for the chance they were given. To think that Tom gave up "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" to honor the contract that he was under tells you a lot about the character of the man.
DVD Review: HEIR APPARENT TO JOHN WAYNE
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up at a time when westerns dominated television and John Wayne was the world's #1 movie star so it was inevitable that westerns would become my favorite film genre.
And then suddenly, westerns just seemed to drop off the face of the earth and with the exception of the occasional film - Unforgiven / Dances With Wolves and a few others, this genre was verging on extinction.
But thank goodness for people like Clint (in his earlier years), Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck, who have done their very best to keep the western alive.
This collection of Tom Selleck's TNT / made-for-television films is a wonderful addition to anybody's collection of great western films. Tom is a very believable and credible cowboy, who epitomizes the code that many western men of the late 19th century lived by - honor/ integrity.
We, of course, had our first glimpse of Tom as a western star in some of his earlier films - The Sacketts / The Shadow Riders / Quigley Down Under and he continues to maintain the level of excellence he established with Monte Walsh / Crossfire Tail and Last Stand At Sabre River.
I think what sets these types of films apart is that they have little choice but to stand on nothing more than compelling stories and solid performances. Unlike so many of the movies that are so popular today, these films don't rely on incredible special effects or computer generated images to hold our attention. The story and character development is the primary appeal of these films.
Monte Walsh is a tough act to follow as it's a remake of the classic western film that starred Lee Marvin and the incomparable Jack Palance as two aging cowboys who have to deal with the fact that the west of their youth is changing and the 20th centruy is looming very large.
Tom as Monte and David Carridine as his life long pal, Chet, are more than up for the challenge.
It's a wonderful story with great performances by the two stars and supporting cast.
Crossfire Trial is an adaptation of a great Louis L'Amour book and deals with a common theme in westerns - the good guy dealing with seemingly insurmoutable odds to fend off an ambitious and ruthless antagonist (played very well by Mark Harmon).
Again, Tom turns in a wonderful performance as a man, who made a promise to a dying friend to look after his widow.
Finally, in Last Stand At Sabre River, civil war veteran Tom Selleck returns to his family after a 3 year absence to resume the life he once know and again, has to deal with forces / people who are commited to seeing him gone.
These are three great films and are highly recommended.
