I really like that show. There's a place in that movie that alway's tends to make me leak, just a little. A cowboy's honor, a man's honor.

Selleck is one of the best western actors!

Several of us have been trying to find a copy of the Lee Marvin version at a reasonable price, but so far no luck.

And the book is on the MUST READ list. The movie covers only a couple chapters from the book.

IMO Selleck tops Marvin as a cowboy. Ain't even close.

Selleck is pretty good as Robert B. Parker's "Jessie Stone" character, too.

There are some of us old fanny burbs who would debate the point were it worth debating.

Mr. Marvin was the real deal in life ... served as a sniper with 4th Marine Division .. was wounded badly enough on Saipan that he was discharged .. most of his outfit was killed during that fight.

I love what Mr. Selleck has done as far as realism in firearms, clothing, etc. and would never say he was "inferior" to Mr. Marvin.

I hold them both in high esteem.

Well Warhawk, that 'll teach me to be more patient won't it? I paid just about about that much for each of them when they came out on DVD.

Actually I just finished reading "Monty Walsh" If you like either one of the movies, you will love the book.

Have never seen the original-will be looking.Love the line-"you cann't imagine how little I care" or something to that effect in the Selleck version.Applies to a lot of things in the correctional field

I'd seen Selleck in Last Stand at Saber River, Crossfire Trail, and Monte Walsh, but didn't have them in DVD. I can't live without Quigley Down Under so I had it. I ordered the first three mentioned DVD's from Amazon and just received them yesterday. Picked Monte Walsh as the first one to watch. I think I'll watch Last Stand at Saber River tonight.

Kim, which version are you referring to, the Lee Marvin, or the Tom Selleck version? jd45

Got them all...and they are great movies....
But you must add the Sacketts and Shadow Riders to that list...
And you cant forget another great movie Quigley Down Under.
