Pure greatness. I still maintain the most underrated line in the whole series involved Dee Boot in the jailhouse. To paraphrase:
Dee: "They got me in jail for killing a boy Ellie, they're gonna kill me."
Luke: "What'd he do? Aggravate ye?"
Classic.
Just ordered a copy of "The Trail Drivers of Texas". Can't wait to read it.
Good times.Comment

after my son got his degree he went on his first job interview. His interviewer said to him," Son what is your favorite movie?"
my son replied, " Lonesome Dove". And the reply was, : This interview is over. You are hired! lets go eat some lunch."Comment

hey Charlie I hunted with tommy vann and gary and pete down there. what i cool deal to ride the high rack down by the river and then through the movie set !!!Originally posted by SaltwaterSlick View PostMovie was made on our deer lease on the Moody Ranch South of Del Rio... We had to move some of our stands/feeders so they wouldn't be in the movie sets... Where the snake episode happened was actually in Sycamore Creek right beside our camp... If the camera had panned to the right about 1 more degree, our camp would have been in view...
Where Woodrow buried Gus is also on Sycamore Creek and one of my all time favorite turkey hunting spots... Got pics of my kids when they were little sitting on the porch of Lonesome Dove main house and of them lookin' out the hotel window down at me in main street... Of course the hotel burned down in the movie, but Mr. Moody mad 'em build it back... got pics of the old burned up piano that was lying beside the rebuilt hotel facade... and a facade is all it was... Whole building wasn't nothin' but a front facade and a staircase that went up to the window on the "second floor"... second floor was about 4 feet square... just enough room to stand at the window... Whole town was that way... just facades... House had one front room and no back... that's where all the cameras were positioned... Only 2 things that were really complete was the bridge and corral pens... Was a fascinating place, but alas, bein' built right on the Rio Grande, the fine upstanding citizens of Mexico have helped themselves to just about everything they could take down and float back across the river...

Makes me want to watch it right now. One of my favorite westerns that not many people talk about much at all was on the other night.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. The cast in that movie is a whos who of the old western movie stars.Comment
