    Didn't know it was a movie, but Louis L'amour's Conagher is one of the best western novels I've ever read, and I've read lots. No glamour, no heroics, two superbly drawn, real, lead characters, and one of the most original, well constructed and believable romances I've come across in literature of any genre. L'amour at his best and most realistic recreation of the wild west. Ranks right up there with Shane, but far more unusual and original/unique than the latter.

      The film exists on the bare minimum of the book's plot and dialogue yet still delivers the story with a wide scope, gritty realism and magnificent acting. This lean style is what makes "Conagher" such a cool western.

    One of the best L'Amour novels and one of the best western movies, ever. The character Conagher is a humble, honorable man whose honesty and loyalty are unquestionable. There was a time when such things were of paramount importance to men, and I'm lucky to have lived the first part of my life back then -- such men helped mold my character, and I'll always be grateful, though I doubt I measure up to the Old Ones.

    Conagher has been my favorite western since it first came out in '91.
    Realistic, believable people pioneering the west. Loved the very believable romance between Sam Elliott and his lovely wife, Kathryn Ross. I play this movie every so often. For me, it's like putting on my most comfy jeans and soft sweater and curling up on the couch with a good book! Two favorite scenes: when he first sees her standing in the doorway to her cabin and when he comes in the house to her humble, rustic but beautiful candle light supper, and she walks around the table serving coffee. Love the look in Sam Elliott's eyes and on his face.;)

Loved festus on Gunsmoke, Elliott in every thing he does? Brought tears to my eyes at the end, miss Ross is his real life wife, give this movie 5 ⭐️ Stars😇❤️ there should have been some big awards for this film with Sam and his wife⭐️⭐️⭐️ the real true love for each other sure was on they’re eyes when they looked at each other❤️❤️ Corbin and gammons were great🤘🏻🤘🏻

    The first novels I read as a kid. My father had a collection of Louis Lamour westerns. I eventually read them all and then started adding to the collection. There were so many great books but I remember "The Californians" as being one that stood out. I'm planning to buy the whole lot for my own son now. A great writer. Sam Elliot was born to be a cowboy.

    Hands down the most authentic western ever made. You can almost feel the dust on your eyelids and the sweat and grit on the back of your neck. The clothing, the hairstyles, the tack everything was researched and is authentically reproduced. Great actors and a great story. Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this?

    Sam Elliot became the epitome of the hard as nails, man of few words, western hero. The first time I ever remember seeing him, however, was at a drive-in movie in the 70s when he was a VERY young man playing the handsome, well built lead in a low budget movie titled "Lifeguard: Every Girls Summer Dream". Truth be told, the only reason I went was because the girl I was dating at the time wanted to see it, but in spite of the title it actually turned out to be a good movie, mainly because of Elliot's portrayal of the character. He also played Army officer Sam "Night Clerk" Damon in the television mini-series "Once An Eagle" based on the best selling book spanning WWI, the interwar years and WWII. I swear, that man could read the dictionary on screen and make it interesting!
