Quotes:

Smoke Parnell, Ladder Five Owner:Hell, you're so weak yu can hardly stand.

Smoke Parnell, Ladder Five Owner:No, you've got just enough sand left in ya to kill me.

Movie Connections:

Featured in Big Guns Talk: The Story of the Western (1997) (TV)

A Cowboy's Cowboy Movie

The book and movie is every bit a classic as Owen Wister's The Virginian.

On one level the movie may seem a bit slow, but that is the beauty of it.

Like Lonesome Dove, Conagher follows the book very closely and could not have a better cast chosen.

The only negative is that it is not available on DVD, WAKE UP TED!!
