But the film belongs to Sam Elliot as the honest cowpuncher, Conagher, a man who stands firm against all odds in order to do the right thing. It's a compelling performance by both leads and their love story develops naturally and doesn't interfere with the western action the viewer expects from a film such as this.
Elliot won a Golden Globe for his performance in this western and the award was well deserved.

I've got the DVD and the book but I can't say hand on heart that either are my favourites in the genre even with the quintessential cowboy Sam Elliott at the helm.
Eliot was just great as a L'Amour character. He always carried it off. I don't think there was one of his western movies taht I didn't basically like.
Thank you, that was extremely valuable and interesting...I will be back again to read more on this topic.
Anon - you made me giggle but you are quite correct. I fell asleep
