A final scene from the classic western movie Lonesome Dove…
Despite blizzards, a broken wagon, and the loss of the coffin, Call finally fulfills the promise to Gus, burying him to the Pecan Orchard where he shared time with his true love Clara, a journey of some three thousand miles. Call returns to Lonesome Dove after the burial, reunites with his former cook and on his walk out of town, a reporter recognizes him and tries to interview him about his remarkable feats. Call ignores the reporter's questions, aside from ironically agreeing with him that he was a "man of vision" and walks away.
Two former Texas Rangers Robert Duvall (Gus McCrae) and Tommy Lee Jones (Captain Call) renew their spirit of adventure as they and several other residents of a small Texas town join a cattle drive to the Montana Territory. Based on Larry McMurtry's novel, the movie aired in1989. An estimated 26 million homes tuned in to watch Lonesome Dove, unusually high numbers for a Western at that time. The Western genre was considered dead by most people, as was the miniseries. By the show's end, it had earned huge ratings and virtually revamped the entire 1989–1990 television season. A favorite with audiences, as well as critics, Lonesome Dove garnered many honors and awards. At the 1989 Emmy Awards, the miniseries had 18 nominations and seven wins, including one for director Simon Wincer. Lonesome Dove also won two Golden Globes,for Best Miniseries and Best Actor in a Miniseries (Robert Duvall). This TV Movie has sold more DVD's than any Western in Cinema history. 0224
