Tom Selleck brings the humble nobility of the western cowboy to life in this bittersweet story of old ways colliding with modern times. The days when a man needed nothing more than a good horse and saddle, a gun and his wits suddenly becomes outmoded, and survival requires adaptability. Endowed with his trademark unapologetic masculinity and his inimitable way of communicating gentle strength, Selleck's Monte Walsh pulls deeply at the heart.
This film is well cast with Keith Carradine, William Devane, George Eads and lovely Isabella Rossellini as the gentle Martine, Monte's age-appropriate lady love. Great film!
