4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid but not great Earp western,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hour of the Gun (VHS Tape)
Until the release of Costner's Wyatt Earp and Russell's Tombstone, this was probably the most realistic and unglamorized retelling of the Earp/Clanton feud. The casting is solid with James Garner as a conflicted Earp, and Jason Robards fairly steals the film as Doc Holiday. It purports to tell the story "the way it happened", but there are a lot of inaccuracies that Earp historians can spot. The opening OK corral shootout was played as it was, quick and dirty.There are major errors in the later story such as Earp killing Clanton in a final showdown (never happened), and the showdowns with various Clanton henchmen by in large did not happen the way it was portryed here. Doc is portrayed as being a northerner and much older than the young southerner which he was. That said, Garner, Robards,Robert Ryan and a host of great western character actors and stars to be make this very watchable. The musical score is catchy and it is a western worth your time. The parting scene of Wyatt and Doc is very well done. Garner is very good as a driven Wyatt Earp.

Very good continuation of OK Corral Movie,
By
This review is from: Hour of the Gun (VHS Tape)
I like this movie. I thought it was a very good continuation to the GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL. It has great performances and a good score by Jerry Goldsmith. A good "lost" Western.

Robards plays the best Doc Holiday ever,
By
This review is from: Hour of the Gun (VHS Tape)
This version of the whole Wyatt Earp, OK Corral story is the grimiest. Garner is a cold, vengeful killer hiding behind the guise of a lawman, while Robards is his drunk, burnt out friend. Unlike the other Earp stories, this one is deep. It isn't just another western. Its a great movie, all around.
