17 "Lonesome Dove" (1989) (mini)

- Originally written by 'Larry McMurtry' (qv) in 1971 as a movie script. He
intended 'John Wayne' (qv) (qv) to play Call, 'James Stewart' (qv) to play
Gus, and 'Henry Fonda' (qv) to play Jake Spoon, with
'Peter Bogdanovitch' (qv) directing. Wayne turned it down, and the project
was shelved. Ten years later McMurtry bought the script back and wrote the
book (on which the series was based).
