Subject: RE: BS: Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove series
Hey, I thought Frederick Forrest was excellent as Blue Duck...cold-blooded, clever, silent as a ghost. The scene where he confronts Gus in the river is one of my favorite scenes in the series.

LH said "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". It's a stunningly fine adaptation of one of O'Brien's books. It's actually a combination of two of his books. Obrien's novels are well-written, exciting, and often humorous. I love the name of the Spanish Frigate that Aubrey and his crew pursues in an early book...the Caca Fuego (Shit Fire).
