Shaughnessy: The Iron Marshal
Shaughnessy: The Iron Marshal (aka Louis L'Amour's Shaughnessy) was a 1996 Western TV movie aired on CBS and based on the 1979 Louis L'Amour novel, Shaughnessy.[1][2] The movie starred Matthew Settle as title character Tommy Shaughnessy, also starring Bo Hopkins, Stuart Whitman,[3] Linda Kozlowski, and Michael Jai White,[4] and was directed by Michael Rhodes.[2] The screenplay was written by William Blinn, who "served the same double duty" on Shaughnessy that he previously did for Disney's Davy Crockett miniseries in the 1980s.[5]
The plot of the movie, following that of the novel, involves "a tough Irish New Yorker who goes west to a troubled Kansas town, where he becomes the new marshal."[2] Shaughnessy: The Iron Marshal was developed as a prospective TV series for CBS,[1] but went no further than the TV movie. The movie was filmed in part at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.[3]
It was released on DVD in 2006.[6]
