Editorial Review:
Product Description:
FACT-BASED BIO OF EARLY FILM DIRECTOR, BILL TIGHMAN. TIGHMAN WAS A REAL LIFE COWBOY WHO RODE WITH THE EARPS & COUNTLESS BAD GUYS. WHEN HE TURNED TO FILMS, HE WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE AUTENTIC WESTERNS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS NO ONE WANTED TO SEE HIS NON-STARS IN ANY STORY.
Amazon.com:
Cromwell, Oklahoma, 1924: an oil boomtown full of saloons, cathouses, mud-and-crude-oil streets, bootleg whisky, and gun-toting roughnecks. Technology had overpassed the Old West, in the form of Model T's and oil rigs, but the mentality had stayed much the same. Add to that a population that's a bit tweaky from a combination of cocaine and morphine that had been going around, and you have a recipe for trouble. Enter Marshall Bill Tilghman, a contemporary of Wyatt Earp. Tilghman had made a silent film, The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws, and on the strength of his reputation had been called into service as chief of police in the hopes of restoring order to a lawless community. In this fact-based story, Sam Elliott plays Tilghman, a larger-than-life character who was one of the last of a dying era. Many Prohibition agents became renegades in the '20s; Tilghman's nemesis was Wiley (Arliss Howard), a rogue agent strung out on drugs and dealing in bootleg liquor himself. Howard's performance is as overwrought as Elliott's is restrained; together the two offset each other well. The flinty Elliott brings a measure of warmth to his role, especially in his relationship to his wife and kids; he's perfectly cast as the man on the cusp of a new age. As a modern-era Western, You Know My Name rises well above its made-for-cable roots to stand as a good character study and action picture. --Jerry Renshaw

I'm so glad to learn the true story of U.S. Marshall Tilghman whom little western aficionados actually know, among European aficionados specially (I guess) .For this is much more interesting than every new movie cut about Wyatt Earp and his gunfight at the O.K. Corral except, of course,for John FORD's "My darling Clementine" and John STURGES '"Hour of the Gun".
There aren't many performers to play it so goo : Robert DUVALL, James GARNER,Tommy Lee JONES and the great Sam ELLIOTT, always at his ... Read More

Any western that stars Sam Elliott is usually a good one. Few people have ever looked and sounded more like a cowboy than Sam.
Also, most westerns feature beautiful landscapes and overall photography, and this film is no exception. Being made-for-TV, it could have been made on-the-cheap but it wasn't.
Elliott plays a lower-key role than usual, being an appealing sort as a loving father and husband and a good-guy marshal. This western is a bit different in that the time period ... Read More

Sam Elliott is at his best in this gritty western. The plot and characters are not predictable which leads you to stay in front of the TV. Recommend to any western lover or fan of Sam Elliott.

We have always enjoyed movies with Sam Elliott, but this one was a big disappointment, not up to his usual standards.

Not what I was expecting. I enjoy Sam Elliot's movies, but this wasn't one of his better ones.
