Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross met on The Graduate (1967) set, married in 1984, and this rare on-screen reunion was their only film together as leads.
Made for TNT's 'Louis L'Amour Collection,' this was part of a brief 90s boom of respectable TV Westerns before Deadwood changed the game entirely.
