» Robert Duvall's New Western -- "Broken Trails"

Caught a brief interview of Duvall claiming this American Movie Classics original (broadcast this June) is the final in a trilogy of westerns for him, the first being Lonesome Dove (1989), the second, Open Range (2003). He mentioned that he thought the American western is our contribution to literature: Russia have Checkov, England have Shakespeare, America the western. I would love to hear him say more on the why, the what and the how.

But, you can read my thoughts here.

Maybe it's that Duvall is one of my favorite actors, but I think he is the greatest living actor of westerns.

UPDATE: Showtimes on AMC are June 25 & 26, 8:00 ET and 7:00 CT.
