Dead Man's Walk, the prequel to Lonesome Dove, comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a making-of featurette. This is a fine release from Artisan that should be worthwhile for any fan of Lonesome Dove or genre enthusiast. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
