| | |  | GIFT SETS | Home » » Sam Elliott Western Collection (Rough Riders / You Know My Name / The Desperate Trail) | | | | | | | Description: | | Rough Riders In 1898 the US government, led by Theodore Roosevelt (Tom Berenger) back when he was still a young, ambitious Naval Secretary, intervenes on the side of the Cuban rebels in their struggle against Spanish rule. Always ready for action, Roosevelt leaves the confines of the sidelines and forms a volunteer cavalry regiment which later became infamously known as the "Rough Riders." Roosevelt's regiment brings together volunteers from all corners of the nation to fight against a far superior adversary in one of the most rousing victories in American history. You Know My Name In six months, the population of Cromwell, Oklahoma, has climbed from 500 to 10,000. Boom times have come to the oil-rich town. So has a new breed of criminal. You Know My Name is the fact-based story of Bill Tilghman, a lawman and former partner of Wyatt Earp confronted by an emerging era when outlaws run whiskey instead of cattle and are likely to tote a tommy gun as carry a six-gun. An ideally cast Sam Elliott plays Tilghman, whose life takes on a newfangled wrinkle of its own. Tilghman makes a moving picture of his Old West exploits; and the success of that silent film, The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws, spreads his reputation like a brushfire. But that reputation may mean nothing to a thug (Arliss Howard) who hides behind a badge. Desperate Trail Amiable con man Jack Cooper is on a westbound stagecoach, headed for the next batch of suckers who will mistake him for an easy mark. Fiery Sarah O'Rourke rides the same coach, handcuffed to lawman Bill Speakes and headed for the hangman. In a few hours, all should reach their destinations. But the trail they travel takes an unexpected turn: Cooper and O'Rourke are soon off the stage and running for their lives. The law ends and the chase begins in a very alive tale of wanted-dead-or-alive fugitives (Linda Fiorentino and Craig Sheffer) pursued by a marshal (Sam Elliott) who's a law unto himself. | | | Features: | |

 Elliott as marshal, ex-lawman/film director, and San Juan Hill heroJan 21, 2009
By Annie Van Auken
WARNER's SAM ELLIOTT WESTERN COLLECTION features Elliott in three of his best films.
SYNOPSES--
DESPERATE TRAIL-- After years of physical abuse, the daughter-in-law (Fiorentino) of Marshal Bill Speakes (Elliott) kills her husband. She's sentenced to hang but manages to escape with the aid of Jack Cooper (Sheffer). Marshal Speakes will do almost anything to bring her to justice and avenge his son's death.
ROUGH RIDERS-- Made-for-TV biopic about Teddy Roosevelt (Berenger) and the volunteer cavalrymen who in the Spanish-American War of 1898 charged up the heavily-defended San Juan Hill alongside him. Top-notch cast includes co-star Elliott as Capt. Bucky O'Neil.
YOU KNOW MY NAME-- TV movie about real life cowboy and pioneering film director Bill Tilghman (Elliott). An ex-buffalo hunter and deputy of Wyatt Earp, Tilghman is intent on producing realistic westerns, but faces opposition when he favors unknowns for his pictures rather than established stars like Tom Mix. Tilghman also has to deal with a former lawman rival named Wiley (Howard), who makes constant trouble for him.
Also recommended:
In the 4-hour epic GETTYSBURG (1993), Elliott portrays Gen. John Buford. On July 1st, 1863, the heroic efforts of Buford's two brigades of dismounted cavalrymen slowed Gen. Rob't E. Lee's advance on the town of Gettysburg, and made possible the victory that came two days later.

 Definitive CowboyAug 07, 2009
By D. J. Taylor
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.

Sam Elliott "is" today's Duke.......Mar 08, 2009
By B. Kimble
"Betzblue"
As a huge Sam Elliott fan, I have been waiting for a compilation of his work. This mini effort of Westerns is surely a great start.
With his rugged good looks ( No one wears a mustache like Sam), his swagger ( without being arrogant)and "that" voice....no matter what role he portrays, he's going to shine. I liked him very much in the original "Quick & the Dead", and as General Sam Houston. My personal favourite role, of course not a western, as Gar, in MASK with Cher. They had great chemistry on screen; so, of course, does his wife Katharine Ross ( but being female, I'd rather not see him with his wife).
I'd buy the compilation, if I didn't already have them singular.

dennis woodruffe considersOct 29, 2009
By D. F. Woodruffe
a very interesting collection of three westerns all worth watching
1) The Desperate Trail - I like my lawmen to be honest and upright and law abiding so was a little disappointed to find this not the case here, likewise the ending was a little too contrived. 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.

Sam Elliot WesternsOct 17, 2009
By Charles Moser
"Chas E. Moser"
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.
