pssst! Lonesome;
I think you'll find that "Lorna Doone" is the name of the heroine. Lonesome Dove Part II might be a better chioce of titles.

Thanks, Eve. The 'boozer' comment sort of tipped it in for me.
*1.* A funereal procession on screen is background for the voiceover comments of the deceased.
Four limos start the trip. but one-by-one the cars turn off. and only one arrives at the destination.

a cliche line I feel should have been seen by now, only it hasn't:
"Just skip the pep talk, Lieutenant. You're billed above the title, those two jerks are billed as stars, and Billy and me are getting union scale for three days' work. We know who's not coming back alive from this mission."

Another:
_A_. "You know what I've been thinking about? Old baseball games. The 1947 World Series. And old TV themes. Dum didi dum didi dum dum. Bonanza."
_B_. "How does the '47 World Series fit in?"
_A_. "It produced one of the great moments in baseball history. Between the Yankees' Joe Di Maggio, prince of players, star of stars, and the Dodgers centefielder Al Gianfrido. Second stringer, who only played that day because the regular centerfilder, Carl Furillo, he got hurt. Do you know this story?"
_B_. "You go ahead."
_A_. "It was the sixth game, bottom of the sixth inning. It's 8-to-5 Dodgers. Two on, two out; up steps Di Maggio. Hit a smash, deep left field, had 'home run' written all over it. Everyone in the stands knew it, I knew it, Di Maggio knew it. It was perfect. But, here comes this little Gianfrido guy, he's racing for the ball like he doesn't know it was hit by Joe Di Maggio. At the last possible moment he jumps. Reaches over the rail. Robs Di Maggio of a three-run homer. But then comes the really amazing thing. Di Maggio is just approaching scecond base when he sees Gianfrido make this catch. He got so upset he kicked the dirt! Just like that. This man who never showed any emotion. He was human after all. It took Al Gianfrido to bring it out. You know what that means to me?"
_B_. "What?"
_A_. In America, anything is possible if you show up for work."
