Garza gets to kill and hang, in that order, the renowned Judge Roy Bean (Ned Beatty).
Call’s single mission in the story is to track and take down Joey Garza (Alexis Cruz), a young Mexican killer and spectacularly accurate sniper who is writ about as evil as anybody in the McMurtry stories, including Buffalo Hump.Īt no point does Call manage to get anywhere near Garza, who literally runs rings around him and even tricks him into taking a couple of bullets. Larry McMurtry, who coscripted this miniseries from his own novel, is possessed of no such notion. Streets of Laredo does nothing to lighten up dour old ex-Texas Ranger Woodrow Call (James Garner), who frankly could use a little cheering after loosing his buddy Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) in the previous story.
Neither 1996’s Dead Man’s Walk nor 1995’s Streets of Laredo offer anything other than the shows, each of which runs about four and a half hours. Both the prequel and the sequel to CBS’s Emmy award-winning Lonesome Dove miniseries are now available in two-disc DVD packages.
