Product Description:
In 1876 Wyoming the gun is the only law. And for Duncan and Susanna McKaskel (Tom Conti and Kate Capshaw) newly arrived settlers beset by outlaws rugged frontiersman Con Vallian (Sam Elliott) is the only hope. From the book by famed Western author Louis L'Amour THE QUICK AND THE DEAD is a rousing adventure. It shares tried-and-true ingredients of those sagebrush sagas: a tale of peaceable folk driven to action under the guidance of a mysterious stranger.Running Time: 90 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC. UPC: 085392458622
Amazon.com:
Not to be confused with Sam Raimi's flamboyantly stylized Western of the same name, this made-for-cable adaptation of the Louis L'Amour novel is a lean, taut pioneer adventure set in the wilderness of the northern Midwest. Sam Elliott, sporting his trademark bushy mustache and eyebrows so thick they keep the rains off his face, stars as the mountain man and tracker Con Vallian. Tom Conti is Scottish storekeeper Duncan McKaskel bringing his wife Susanna (Kate Capshaw) and son from Pennsylvania to a homestead in Wyoming. When a scraggly gang (led by the wonderfully sleazy Matt Clark) marks the family as an easy target, Vallian makes himself their gruff guardian angel, partly out of attraction to Susanna ('You're a handsome woman,' he likes to repeat). Pride, jealousy, and rivalry make Duncan and Vallian uneasy allies and Conti's musical lilt is a marvelous contrast to Elliot's gravely drawl. Capshaw is somewhat colorless but comes to life in a surprising explosion of angry violence. The beautiful landscape culminates in a stunning meadow where the homesteaders find their cabin, a location that must be the closest thing to heaven on Earth, but for the devils still on their trail. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Tom Selleck....and Sam Elliott...In a Movie...
Need I say more? No, really, it is an ok western. I have seen better, but, this one is pretty good.
Rating: - The Quick and the Dead
I give this movie 5 stars easy. Sam Elliott is a great actor and this is
certainly a movie that shows how good he really is. I watch it over and over. Only one other of his movies can top this one for me and that is The Shadow Riders. Must see movies.
