   I'm looking forward to the release of this movie next Friday. I've   
   read the book it's based on and it appears that they took the smallest   
   kernel of the basic plot and the names of the characters to use in   
   making the movie, based on what is shown in previews. Not atypical of   
   Hollywood interpretations, and in this case probably not a bad idea. I   
   found the book to be rather dry reading, and a real throwback to   
   really old style westerns, despite having been originally copyrighted   
   in 1990. While Duvall comes fairly close to the description of his   
   character in the movie, the guy Costner plays is a completely   
   different physical type as described in the book, as is Annette   
   Bening's.
