{"product_id":"king-of-texas","title":"King of Texas","description":"Amazon.com\n\nIt's Shakespeare with six-guns as King of Texas goes boldly where no TV Western had gone before. Transplanting King Lear to a Texas cattle ranch was a risky proposition, but as star and co-executive producer (with his wife and fellow Star Trek: The Next Generation alumnus, Wendy Neuss), Patrick Stewart brings his formidable Shakespearean training to bear on a condensed but satisfying interpretation. Whereas Akira Kurosawa's Ran required a gender-switching overhaul of Shakespeare's tragedy, this handsomely mounted TNT Original retains the feuding sisterhood of Lear's undoing. As aging cattle baron John Lear, Stewart sets his downfall in motion, dividing his land and loyalties among daughters played with stalwart fortitude by Marcia Gay Harden, Lauren Holly, and Julie Cox. Familial machinations multiply with a stellar supporting cast (Roy Scheider is the Earl of Gloucester here), and for all of Stewart's impressive fury, it's comedy veteran David Alan Grier (interpreting Shakespeare's \"Fool\") who quietly steals the show. --Jeff Shannon\n\nProduct Description\n\nAn aging cattle baron's plan to divide his vast spread among his three daughters ignites a sibling blood feud in this volatile Wild West retelling of Shakespeare's \"King Lear.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00007AJFY\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00007AJFY.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Patrick Stewart|Marcia Gay Harden|Lauren Holly|Roy Scheider|David Alan Grier|Colm Meaney|Patrick Bergin|Matt Letscher|Liam Waite|Steven Bauer|Julie Cox|Richard Lineback|Uli Edel|Stephen Harrigan|William Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
