Lonesome Dove The Movie History
Lonesome Dove History
The story was originally a script that McMurtry wrote in 1971 for Peter Bogdanovich to direct John Wayne as Call, Jimmy Stewart as Gus, and Henry Fonda as Jake Spoon.Originally aired Feb. 5, 1989, on CBS. Based on the novel by Larry McMurtry. Teleplay by William D. Wittliff. Produced by Dyson Lovell. Directed by Simon Wincer. Distributor: Cabin Fever. Lonesome Dove is the story of two former Texas Rangers, Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call , who run the Hat Creek Cattle Company which is situated next to the town of Lonesome Dove on the bank of the Rio Grande. Another former ranger, Jake Spoon, rides in on the run from an Arkansas sheriff for accidentally shooting the dentist/mayor (and the sheriff’s brother) of Ft. Smith. Jake tells about the wonderful unspoiled country in Montana territory, "A cattleman's paradise". The idea intrigues Call who wants to go on a journey of a lifetime and be the first to set up a cattle ranch that far north. Call convinces Gus, who is comfortable being retired, that they should just pick up stakes and go to Montana, 2,500 miles away. They 'steal' a herd of cattle and horses from Mexican banditos and head them north.This is where their adventures begins. They battle storms, snake infested rivers, horse thieves, outlaws, and Indians. It has an astonishing array of characters, cowboys, outlaws, sportin' women, whiskey peddlers and river men, buffalo hunters and ordinary town folk. They definitely went back to the history books and researched so many aspects of the movie down to the clothing.Lonesome Dove is unquestionably both my favorite book and movie of all time.
