Ah, L'Amour

Warner Bros. has collected Catlow, The Sacketts, and Conagher into a single Louis L'Amour Collection. These doses of Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, and Yul Brynner/Leonard Nimoy are worthy additions to the L'Amour shelf in your dad's study.

 

 

I covered Catlow when it came out almost exactly a year ago in a series that I never continued. To wit:

"The last thing I expected to encounter today was a movie with Leonard Nimoy fighting in the nude. Two years after the original Star Trek series and just before his appearance in one of my favorite episodes of Night Gallery, Nimoy played a snarling bounty hunter baddie in Catlow. His presence and the fact the movie is based on a book by Louis L'Amour are likely the reasons why this wasn't made a Warner Archive title. The movie is really quite enjoyable and a welcome alternative to the crap clogging the multiplexes."

Seeing as The Sacketts is $15 on its own and Catlow and Conagher are $13 apiece, $17.49 for all three is pretty damn good deal when that equals over six hours of solid oaters. Combo/value packs like these are the future of catalog media.
