The Louis L'Amour Western Collection: The Sacketts/Conagher/Catlow



excited about having them
I have been very pleased with this package, I mainly wanted the Conagher DVD, but I truly enjoyed the Sacketts and Catlow also. A very inexpensive package with very good video quality. Would have been nice if they were in the 16x9 configuration but they are old and perhaps they are not available in that format.

L'amour a plenty
I initially purchased this collection to get a copy of the Sacketts but after watching all the 3 films I find it is the weaker. Conagher was for me the strongest of the offerings with Catlow a surprising second. I remember years ago catching a glimpse of Catlow on TV. I was not excited by the 50's looking hat worn by our russian friend, Mr. Brynner. So I was not inclined to watch further. That was my mistake. Perhaps it is my aging but Catlow was a very entertaining film, carried well by Richard Crenna and by Yul's great laugh. Leonard Nimoy's bad guy roll was credible. Conagher was most successful in giving a true L'amour experience. L'amour's moral sense makes itself well evident in this well acted and strong tale of life, strength and loneliness. Sam Elliot was a more mature rough guy with a heart. The Sacketts showed its TV age. It would have been better if it had been longer and the relationships and the diverse transecting events were allowed to breathe. It still was enjoyable,...

great cowboy collection
I was very pleased with this three movie collection. Its a great way to spend a rainy day with the entire family.
These are great movies.
