Movie Reviews of Gone to Texas
Movie Review: The most accurate movie portrayal of this chapter of Texas History
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in this movie as an extra (I played the Violin at Sam Houston's wedding). There were two Texas Historians on the set that could stop the filming at anytime and change what was said or done for accuracy. One was a non academic but knowledgeable historian and another was an academic type.
When Sam Elliot staggers over to me yelling for music I thought he was really drunk and was about to attack me. I'm an Ex Marine and not normally too worried about a fight. But I admit to be terrified when Sam came over. They had to stop the scene and start over.
Movie Review: Excellent historic depiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Learned much about the "Lone Star State" in it's fetal stages. Excellent character development of all actors. Sam Houston portrayed by Sam Elliott was a wonderful choice, sad to learn Houston died after accomplishing so much yet believing his life was "a failure". Only "bone of contention" was that Elliott was strapped down through the entire film (Sam's fans will understand what I mean).Movie Review: movie Gone to Texas
Summary: 5 Stars
Was so glad to find this movie. Have wanted it in for many
years, unable to get it. It came in great shape. Have
really enjoyed it. Glad to get it in DVD format !!!!
Movie Review: OK for a Cold Winter Day
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not the best TV movie ever made, but it's got its moments. In particular, several actors truly bring to life the people they portray. John P. Ryan personifies the jerk history knows David Burnett to have been. Richard Y'iquez and Peter Gonzales Falcon had roles much too small, as General Santa Anna and Juan Seguin, but they played them so very well. Sam Elliott, particularly in exhibiting Houston's oratorical skill, was fascinating. It comes closer to portraying the time than do many other depictions of the Texas Revolution.
Given a choice between this one and The Alamo (2004), I'll take Gone to Texas.
Movie Review: Sam Elliott is good in this movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Sam Elliott. I bought this because I like Sam Elliott, Tennessee, and Sam Houston. Nothing is particularly factual here and the picture quality of the DVD stands a lot of improvement. But a decent watch, when tired of everything else on your shelf.
