I have been very pleased with this package, I mainly wanted the Conagher DVD, but I truly enjoyed the Sacketts and Catlow also. A very inexpensive package with very good video quality. Would have been nice if they were in the 16x9 configuration but they are old and perhaps they are not available in that format.

I initially purchased this collection to get a copy of the Sacketts but after watching all the 3 films I find it is the weaker. Conagher was for me the strongest of the offerings with Catlow a surprizing second. I remember years ago catching a glimpse of Catlow on TV. I was not excited by the 50's looking hat worn by our subcontinental friend, Mr. Brynner. So I was not inclined to watch further. That was my mistake. Perhaps it is my aging but Catlow was a very entertaining film, carried well by Richard Crenna and by Yul's great laugh. Leonard Nimoy's bad guy roll was credible. Conagher was most successful in giving a true L'amour experience. L'amour's moral sense makes itself well evident in this well acted and strong tale of life, strength and loneliness. Sam Elliot was a more mature rough guy with a heart. The Sacketts showed its TV age. It would have been better if it had been longer and the relationships and the diverse transecting events were allowed to breathe. It still was enjoyable, tho' dated. As a DVD compilation of L'amour films it is worth the surprizingly low price. I give this package 3.5 stars, 4 for Conagher, 3 for Catlow, and 2.5 for The Sacketts.

I was very pleased with this three movie collection. Its a great way to spend a rainy day with the entire family.
These are great movies.

I have watched these 4 movies in this collection just about every night since I bought them. Not only do you get Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Jeff, Ben Johnson, also you get Kathryn Ross. Three brothers as close as brothers should be, a good friend, and a woman as pretty as can be. It takes you in so different places, the when you think one of them sure could use help,it brings another into the puzzle. And all together they fight all kinds of bad men who like to contest them to see if they really are men true to the bone. Oh boy are they. They will have you on the edge of your seats, thinking nothing can get worse, and oh no trouble again. You will not lack intertainment out of these movies, I don't want to tell you the end before the beginning, so my advice is get on your computer, and order this collection, you'll never be bored. ACTION, Action, and pure pleasure......

I ordered these movies for my husband (51) for Christmas. He has enjoyed watching them so much he has passed them onto his dad and brothers.

The Sacketts is the quintessentiall western staring two of the best western actors of this generation.It has all the ingredients ,brothers who fight for right justice and love. And to help open up the south-west.the acting is realistic and directing and casting is also very good. Amazons service is with out peer. Sam Elliot& Tom Selleck carry the story with Ben Johnson and Jeff Osterhage.I believe it deserves 5 stars as does Amazon.

I thought it was a very good product and enjoyed all three movies. The Sackets and Conagher could have been done in wide screen or the same as Catlow as if when you compare them to the VHS tapes they cut out some of the scenes at the edges of the picture.

I GOT THESE FOR A FRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS AND HE LOVED THEM, GREAT ENTERTAINMENT FOR SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS WESTERNS! yeah

Lamour has always been one of my husband's favorite story teller. He owns 99% of his books. The Sacketts is his most favorite.

This Louis L'Amour Collection was a Christmas gift for my husband. We watched the movies and were pleased with The Sacketts and Conagher. We did not care for Catlow. For such good movies as The Sacketts and Conagher,the collection deserves a better third movie. Usually Yul Brenner movies are pretty good, but we were disappointed with Catlow.
