In spite of these criticisms I enjoyed this film. 2) Rough Riders - A lesson in US history. Teddy Roosevelt and the US adventures in Cuba. I don't know how true to life this story really is but I was suitably impressed. I felt I learned something and enjoyed the learning experience. 3) You Know My Name - Ex western lawman Bill Tilghman's last appointment. This another piece of US history, the prohibition years. Tilghman was not as well known as some of his contemporaries but Sam Elliott certainly gives him a presence in this film. Much recommended. Rating: - Sam Elliot Westerns I enjoy the trade of acting that this man has. One of the movies shows how he can change hats. In one of his movies he plays a character you have a hard time liking but still the job is well done. I like him in roles where he is a hero but I enjoy all of his stuff. Chas E. Moser Rating: - Good but not as good as I thought it would be I enjoyed the set because I like Sam Elliot. "You Know My Name" and "Rough Riders" were a 4 rating and "Desperate Trail" was a 3 rating. We were surprised at the "R" rating of "Desperate Trail" as we usually don't purchase R movies. Rating: - Definitive Cowboy Sam Elliott is one of my favorite actors. I could listen to his voice reading the New York City phone book and be enthralled. This boxed set contains three terrific movies featuring Elliott. The Rough Riders is a two disc mini-series that I especially liked. This set is well worth the money. Rating: - Great Collection for Western Lovers Movies are well made. The acting is professional. Stories are intereseting to watch. Definitely would recommend this series for anyone who loves westerns. Sam Elliott is a class "A" actor in my book. see more
