I thought kept with what I loved about the book. It's charm

Lonesome Dove, the TV series was excellent and the casting was superb. The worst was The Prince of Tides, an excellent book, but the movie was produced by Barbra Streisand, who also starred in the movie. It had way too much Barbra and missed much of the point of the book.
