Widely acclaimed as the greatest Western ever made, Lonesome
Dove has become a true American epic. Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer
Prize-winning novel was a New York Times best seller, with more
than 2.5 million copies currently in print. The Lonesome Dove
miniseries has drawn millions of viewers and won numerous awards,
including seven Emmys.
A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove takes you on a fascinating
behind-the-scenes journey into the creation of the book, the
miniseries, and the world of Lonesome Dove. Writer John Spong talks
to forty of the key people involved, including author Larry
McMurtry; actors Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Anjelica Huston,
Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, D. B. Sweeney, Frederic
Forrest, and Chris Cooper; executive producer and screenwriter Bill
Wittliff; executive producer Suzanne de Passe; and director Simon
Wincer. They and a host of others tell lively stories about
McMurtry's writing of the epic novel and the process of turning it
into the miniseries Lonesome Dove. Accompanying their recollections
are photographs of iconic props, costumes, set designs, and
shooting scripts. Rounding out the book are continuity Polaroids
used during filming and photographs taken on the set by Bill
Wittliff, which place you behind the scenes in the middle of the
action.
Designed as a companion for A Book of Photographs from Lonesome
Dove, Wittliff's magnificent fine art volume, A Book on the Making
of Lonesome Dove is a must-have for every fan of this American
epic.
