James Garner (Maverick) and OscarÂ(r) winner* Jason Robards (All the President's Men) saddle up as the legendary gunslingers in this riveting, fact-based story that is "the closest filmmakers have ever come to the truth of the OK Corral gunfight" (LA Herald-Examiner). With the dust barely settling at the OK Corral, the notorious Clanton brothers unleash their revenge. One by one, they gun down Wyatt Earp's brothersbut they won't have the last shot. Using his US Marshal's badge as his authority, and Doc Holliday (Robards) as his deputizedright-hand man, Earp begins a zealous pursuit of vengeance that the west will never forget. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - After The O.K. CorralCheyenne Warrior: The Original Screenplay with Author Commentary Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake HOUR OF THE GUN (1967) was the first movie to ostensibly tell the true story of Wyatt Earp and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Earlier, better known films, like John Ford's MY DARLING CLEMENTINE and John Sturges' GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL, had dealt with the subject but were more fiction than fact. Sturges also directed this picture, which starred ... Read More Rating:  - Underrated Sturges Film- Wild Bunch territoryAnother example of Maltin getting it wildly wrong with a two star rating. Excellent maintenance of tone throughout with standout performance from Mr Garner beautifully offset by the amusing and cynical performance by Mr Robards. An excellent Western, up there with Missouri Breaks, Wild Bunch etc. Lucien Ballard photography is a standout. Rating: - A Western Masterpiece With A Twist"Bad Day at Black Rock" director John Sturges revisits the Wyatt Earp/Ike Clanton feud in "Hour of the Gun" with James Garner and Jason Robards that he began in 1957 with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in the Hal B. Wallis production of "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." Although Sturges' "Hour of the Gun" boasts greater visual and historic realism than "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral," this sequel of sorts veers off course toward the end and two-time Oscar-winning scenarist Edward Anhalt of "Becket" contrives ... Read More Rating: - After the Gunfight at the OK CorralJohn Sturges' memorable follow-up to THE GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL with James Garner as Wyatt Earp and Jason Robards as Doc Holliday, Robert Ryan as Ike Clanton. Interesting to compare this film with the much later TOMBSTONE. Both are very good, yet still play alittle fast and loose with history. In reality Earp -- in the aftermath of his brothers being crippled and killed -- only killed four guys: Frank Stillwell the train station in Tuscon, Indian Charlie, Pete Spence and Curly Bill Brocious. It's never ... Read More Rating: - Interesting look at Wyatt Earp post-OK CorralHour of the Gun is an excellent late 60s western that tries to take a more realistic look at two of the most famous western characters ever, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Following the gunfight at the OK Corral, the three Earp brothers and Holliday are acquitted for the murder of three Clanton gang members. But in the weeks to come, Wyatt's brother Morgan is murdered and Virgil is crippled by Clanton gunmen. Wyatt and Doc form a posse and go after the men. But during the hunt, Wyatt is the one who will stop ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
