Wasn't it though. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones were magnificent. I spent the next six months quoting Gus McCrae a lot.
I read the book and thought it was spectacular. I did not care for any of McMurtry's other stuff either. I don't know. It was like he had only had one good novel in him. But it was a great one.

Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones were magnificent. As were Angelica Huston and Diane Lane, among many others. Originally McMurtry wrote the story with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda in mind for the roles played by Jones, Duvall and Robert Urich.
