Editorial Review:

Description:
Conagher is both a hard-riding actioner and a character-driven look at Western life. Katharine Ross plays Evie Teale, widowed after coming West and forced to prove her mettle in many ways. Sam Elliott plays Conagher, a cowhand who, when not tracking rustlers, drifts in and out of Evie's life. Something about that frontier woman keeps drawing him back. But can Evie ever keep him from drifting out again?

- This is Cowboy Poetry
This is a fine movie from a veteran couple. The notes on the tumbleweeds, the romote western desert scenery, the stuggles, and the triumphs are classic cowboy poetry put to film. Look for a great old timer in this movie. Of Course, this is a Louis L'Amour story. It is written right and filmed right.

Rating:

- A lot of good in this story
More than just a romantic western (though it is that), this story gives us a picture of manliness we don't often see: the honor, generosity, courtesy, courage, independence and toughness which duty demands of a man, and how those around him are better off when he rises to meet that standard.

The young cowhand (Johnny?) in the story is confronted with the hard decision between two opposing paths. Nor is Conn Conagher any wishy-washy, "tolerant" compromiser when it comes to what is right for men to do.

For most boys coming of age today, such times and such men are long gone, it seems. Yet those who aspire to be counted as men face that same hard decision. They deserve to be presented with the choices in such clear terms.

Rating:

- A Great Western
Sam Elliot was born for the western and this is a beaut. Based on a classic Louis L'Amour novel. The tale of a cowboy who finds the lonely notes of a frontier wife (real life wife Katherine Ross) on the tumbleweeds. A great story and thank God for TNT. John Wayne is gone, Clint Eastwood is old so with TNT (and the tv movies of Elliot and Tom Selleck) they are the only salvation western fans have.

- Sam Elliot's Tribute To Louis L'Amour: The Best TV Film Adaptation Of A L'Amour Book To Date
This review is for "Conagher" DVD (DVD Release Date: 2005)

Adapting an extremely popular book into a screenplay for a movie is almost alway a nearly impossible task--especially if one considers the fact that one script page, which is probably one fourth to one half of a book page at best, is equal to about one minute of film time. Louis L'Amour's novel, "Conagher," considered by many to be one of the best novels written, is around 192 pages (one reviewer states it is 152 pages). The film, again made for television on a small budget, is 117 minutes. Thus the writers--Sam Elliott (also a star and producer), Jeffrey M. Meyer, and Katharine Ross (also a star of the film)--had to condense the novel from 192 pages to approximately 48 pages; or a screenplay of about 117 pages. That ... Read More

- this is America
I forgot how many times i saw this movie must be more than 5 OR 6 times and every time i find it is so powerful and full of life which was so hard in those pioneering days.Thanks to Louis L'Amour for bringing this on to screen with his story and Sam Elliot he is great as Conagher and Katharine Ross as (Evie)movie is so good that you will enjoy it every time you see.A small rancher Taylor says:"Conagher I got nothing but respect for an honest cowhand" and Conagher replies to him "I takes man's money mr taylor I Ride for the Brand."
another place Conagher tells Cris"Take a man's money and do a job he paid me for-I know no other way"
This is what America is made of.Honesty and hard work of those people to be injoyed today.
