I’ve seen LONESOME DOVE so many times I’ve practically got the six hours of dialogue memorized. Yet I’ll hold watching this fine adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s chronicle unique, over and over again. Why? Two words: compelling fable.
The friendship of Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call is the underlying theme of LONESOME DOVE; it’s the motor that drives the fable. When these two weathered stale lawmen occupy a herd of cattle from Mexico and location off for Montana for one last colossal adventure (”I wanna ogle that country,” says Call to Gus, “before the lawyers and bankers regain it.”), the stage is state for a Western with plenty of humor, action, violence…tragedy.
This production makes McMurtry’s unforgettable characters literally leap off the page. Robert Duvall IS Gus McCrae…Tommy Lee Jones IS Woodrow Call. Both performances are so intellectual and on target the viewer is transported seamlessly to McMurtry’s sage, a record centering around the undying loyalty and friendship of these two men.

LONESOME DOVE is a film that will entertain you, acquire you over the stout gambit of human emotions, then after six hours leave you begging for more. Jones and Duvall lead a stellar cast in a grand film that has but one weakness: it has to kill. And McMurtry’s account is told–told so well that no other Western even comes finish.
It is finally nice to gather the entire Lonesome Dove record on DVD. While I have to agree that the portray is not as pristine as I would have liked, it is definitely better than the VHS version that I believe. The sound is Dolby Digital mono, but surprisingly trustworthy.
One thing to impress - the movie breaks at the same fracture points that the mini-series did when broadcast. After approximately 1.5 hours, the credits roll, and then the next piece starts. Not that poor, but a tiny clunky. The interview snippets with Larry McMurtry are kind of insightful and nice to have.
Robert Duvall is really astonishing in the role of Augustus (Gus) McCrae. The man is the character. I found I was laughing to myself all over again at Gus’s western philosopher dialogue, and wishing that we all opinion a small more like him.
