ma-cortes

Nice western , short in action but entertaining enough , dealing with a woman named Evie Tale : Katharine Ross , her two children and a cowboy called Conagher : Sam Elliott . When her husband : Billy Green Bush disappears, Evie Tale is living in the middle of nowhere and she stands only with her two sons . While Conagher works as a cowboy for cattle rancher Seaborn: Ken Curtis and facing off rustlers led by James Gammon. But shortly after , the two-fisted drifter called Conagher shows up to help the widow Evie and to live with her . Along the way Conagher takes on takes on problems , rustlers and outlaws : James Gammon , Pepe Serna .

An ordinary , if poorly plotted Western about an experimented cowboy and a lonely mistress . Slow-moving and passable Western in which the starring takes long time to decide to end up in the arms of the mature widow Lady. Cable television rendition of Louis L'Amour novel, in fact the film is dedicated to Western expert Louis L'Amour. Nevertheless, it doesn't have much interest , neither intensity , though Sam Elliott captures his role pretty well . Duo of charming protagonists, marriage in real life , Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross are frankly good , in fact they were producers, screenwriters and actors of this acceptable film . Their relationship started in "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid" that both of whom played in their starts , following "The Legacy" , among others . And star Sam Elliott is a detached figure in Western genre , being one of its main representatives , performing a lot of them in the Eighties and Nineties , as cinema as TV , such as : Cactus , Houston The Legend of Texas , Yellow Rose , The Quick and the Dead , Gettysburg , Hi-Lo County , You Know My Name , Buffalo Girls , Indians, Wild Times , The Shadow Riders , and several others . Both protagonists are well accompanied by a lot of familiar faces, such as : Gavan O'Herlihy, James Gammon, Daniel Quinn, Billy Green Bush, Dub Taylor who is father of Bud Taylor, Barry Corbin, Pepe Serna and Ken Curtis's final role. The motion picture was competently directed by Reynaldo Villalobos , an usual cameraman who has directed a few movies .
