Tom Selleck & Sam Elliott are perhaps my well-liked cowboys ever; their dedication to keeping the Western alive has produced some of the finest of fresh entries in this disappearing genre. Though it’s nice to notice more coming into theaters, like “The Proposition,” “Seraphim Falls,” “3:10 to Yuma” and “The Assassination of Jesse james by the Coward Robert Ford,” none of these films (though all very top-notch in their have proper) don’t recall the quality or flavor of the classic Western. Selleck & Elliot’s films do select this spirit, and they do it flawlessly.

It’s nice to gape these three gargantuan Selleck Westerns, “Last Stand at Saber River,” “Crossfire Chase” and “Monte Walsh,” together in one package. My only complaint is that there isn’t a similar space being released to house Elliot’s “Conagher,” “The Desperate Spin,” and “You Know My Name”! I deem these are all owned by the same studios, so why not synchronize releases? Anyway, here’s to hoping that it’s not too far ahead.

With this situation, those three films I mentioned, “The Sacketts,” “The Shadow Riders,” “The Snappily & the Humdrum” and “Quigley Down Under,” you’ll have the ultimate Tom Selleck & Sam Elliot Western collection.

Tom Selleck starred in three worthy Westerns made for TNT between 1997 and 2003, and all three are now being made available in one collection. Here are brief synopses and reviews of each individual film:

“Last Stand at Saber River” - 4 stars

Selleck is Paul Cable, a Confederate cavalryman who has advance home from the Civil War (only slightly) early. He knows the war is lost for the South, he is veteran out, and he only wants to prefer his family benefit to their homestead in Arizona to live a normal life. His wife, who was told that he was listless, is less than thrilled to have him attend home because she is resentful that he left to fight in the war in the first situation. Suzy Amis does an good job as Martha Cable. She is not the stereotypical beauty who runs around in a rush under adore dresses. She is a tough frontierswoman who has experienced many hardships and gets her husband out of some tight spots as the movie progresses.

While the majority of the movie is superior at depicting the divisions between North and South that caused the Civil War and which the Civil War then exacerbated, the subplot of the inner struggles that Paul and Martha Cable face is far more inviting. It’s a huge movie until the kill, when we derive the additional time-worn subplot of a Confederate soldier who objective can’t give up the Lost Cause. No, it’s not Selleck’s character who has this dilemma, but Selleck already had covered this territory in 1982’s “The Shadow Riders” (though it wasn’t his character who wanted to support fighting in that movie either) ; John Wayne’s “The Undefeated” is another eminent Western with the Lost Cause plotline. In spite of the needlessly melodramatic ending, this is a strong Western, and both Selleck and TNT kept getting better and better with “Crossfire Flow” and “Monte Walsh”.

“Crossfire Roam” - 4 stars

This is the second of the TNT/Tom Selleck Westerns. Selleck revisited his early Louis L’Amour, TV-Western roots here and also re-teamed with director Simon Wincer, who directed Selleck’s best big-screen wretchedness - “Quigley Down Under” - as well as the all-time classic Western miniseries “Lonesome Dove”. The result is an edifying film that, while breaking no recent ground, contributes to the rich mythology and legacy of the American cowboy.

Selleck plays Rafe Covington who, at the beginning of the film, promises a dying friend that he will win care of the friend’s wife and ranch. Selleck and two partners state out to do fair that, and they add a unique friend from the nearby town (played by Wilford Brimley) shortly after their arrival. The film is predictable: the widow is suspicious of Rafe’s motives, the town terrible guy has been wooing the widow in order to glean at her land, the abominable guy hires a hit man to eliminate Rafe, and so on. And yet, even though the viewer can contemplate proper through the dwelling to the ruin of the film, every element is so well handled that it is a pleasure to seek the movie.

I read several articles unprejudiced before the film was released about the painstaking efforts made to have authentic costumes, props, sets, etc., and I must say that the filmmakers’ efforts certainly paid off. The film is space in Wyoming, but was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which gives the film some of the best mountain vistas in a Western since the precise Stout Tetons were featured in “Shane”.

The reasons this film only receives four stars from me are the plot’s predictability and the fact that it contains some needless strong profanity (which seems oddly out of space in a movie that continually emphasizes values such as honor and integrity) . I convey they wanted to emphasize that the gracious guys are excellent and the terrible guys are poor (since the awful guys also vow the worst obscenities), but this was accomplished equally well in the other two films without the consume of such strong profanity.

“Monte Walsh” - 5 stars

This 2003 remake of “Monte Walsh,” also directed by Simon Wincer, was Tom Selleck’s third (but hopefully not last) Western for TNT, and it is probably the most stirring film tribute to the demolish of the Frail West and the cowboy diagram of life. This is saying quite a bit as some elegant Westerns like “The Wild Bunch”, “The Shootist”, and (even more recently) “Start Range” as well as other movies have dealt with the changes resulting from progress as the U.S. was about to enter the twentieth century.

Having mentioned that the film is state during a time of large change in the American West, I won’t mask the situation line in large detail. Suffice it to say that, while Selleck’s Monte Walsh is the hero of the narrate, he is portrayed with character flaws intact as well. Montelius Walsh loves three things in life: horses, women, and drinking (and the order of these things changes at different times in his life) . He is stubborn, panicked to commit to Martine (his current prostitute whom he does seem to treasure), and refuses to change. He is also hard-working and genuine to his friends, especially his best buddy Chet (played by Keith Carradine), and these qualities are what gain his character valorous and the storyline affecting. “Monte Walsh” is an elegiac tribute to the passing of the Mature West and the American cowboy. May both continue to live on in films!

I’m convinced that if Tom Selleck had starred primarily in Westerns throughout his film career, then his movie success would have dwarfed his “Magnum P.I.” role. The TNT Westerns, along with his three previous Westerns dating benefit to 1979’s “The Sacketts”, put him as a premier cowboy actor. “Monte Walsh” is the finest of his Western efforts to date, and it is to be hoped that Selleck will ’saddle up’ again soon; perhaps he’ll even reunite with Sam Elliott with whom he starred in his first two made-for-TV Westerns (1979’s “The Sacketts” and 1982’s “The Shadow Riders”) and who has also made some splendid Westerns for TNT.
