Presented for the very first time in Widescreen and 5.1 surround sound, this all-time western classic is now digitally re-mastered with all-new bonus features.Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Larry McMurtry and set in the late nineteenth century, this sprawling epic of the Old West is the story of the last defiant frontier, a daring cattle drive, and an undying love. Featuring epic performances by Robert Duvall, Tommy lee Jones, Angelica Houston, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Robert Urich, and Chris Cooper, Lonesome Dove continues to be a treasured classic for generations to come.
Amazon.com essential video:
Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, aging cowboys and former Texas rangers and who organize a 2,500 mile cattle drive for one last great adventure in this excellent 1989 miniseries adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel. The best friends, who steal the herd from a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers, drive their herd from Texas to Montana, battling horse thieves, angry Indian tribes, and a renegade half-breed killer named Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest) on a mission of revenge. The excellent cast also includes Robert Urich as cardsharp and former Ranger Jake Spoon, Anjelica Huston as McCrae's old flame Clara Allen, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, Diane Lane, Chris Cooper, D.B. Sweeney, Steve Buscemi, and even a small role for author Larry McMurtry. Australian director Simon Wincer shows a tremendous capacity for balancing sweeping drama and intimacy against the gorgeous landscape of the American Southwest, giving a grandly epic feel to the film despite its small-screen target and limited budget, and for forging memorable characters of even the smallest supporting parts. The heart of the drama belongs to McCrae and Call, memorably etched by Duvall and Jones as the last of the range romantics. In the age of revisionist Westerns, this excellent cattle-drive drama nicely maintains an old-fashioned feeling while still showing the dark side of the American West. Winner of seven Emmy Awards and responsible for two miniseries sequels (Return to Lonesome Dove and Dead Man's Walk) and a TV series. --Sean Axmaker

Experiencing this 6 plus hour TV (4:3 ratio) Western mini series in 1989 was an amazing experience. LONESOME DOVE was considered by many to be the "Greatest Western ever made".
Now for the very first time ever we can re-experience this classic better than ever. NOW "LONESOME DOVE" 2 Disc Blu-ray Collector's Edition has been Digitally Remastered in WIDESCREEN 5.1 Surround Sound. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
For your HD Home Theater w/HDMI 5.1 Sound explodes off the screen with this epic classic as you have never seen before. Amazing!!!
My qualifying statement: My HD Home Theater weighs in at about $2000 plus movies. A break down is; a Mitsubishi HD Projector (HC-1500) $800 (orig $1495), A Sony Blu-ray 5.1 Sound System $399 (orig $499) and a Sony PLAYSTATION 3 w/Blu-ray player $399 (orig $499). Sony HDMI cables $150 and a HD Screen Paint and Kit $180 for my 108" viewing wall screen. With this 1080p system I've created a HD Home Theater presentation sight and sound equal to an IMAX (on a smaller scale) experience.
This 1080p w/5.1 sound Widescreen showing of "LONESOME DOVE" blows your mind eye, period. Seeing this Classic Western on the Big HD HOME THEATER SCREEN brings you to the full appreciation on the American West. Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones and cast are now even bigger and better than ever.
I guarantee you'll be watching this one many times.
You must have this for your Western Classic Film library,today. Enjoy.

On the DVD box and on the cover, it was clearly marked "English subtitle" as a feature. So we bought this DVD as a gift to a hearing impaired person.
There was no subtitle. We were really disappointed.

The movie was GREAT. I had heard about it over the years, but this was the 1st time for me to see it.Robert Duvall was perfect.

I rate this miniseries a 5 Star, but this so-called "widescreen" version a 1 Star since it is not widescreen. It is cropped full screen. You are actually seeing less than the full screen version.
