Hour of the Gun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hour of the Gun (1967), a western movie about Wyatt Earp (James Garner) and Doc Holliday (Jason Robards), attempts more historical accuracy than most accounts of the events, and explores what happened after the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Robert Ryan portrays Earp's nemesis Ike Clanton.
Directed by John Sturges, the movie is a sequel to his own more fictionalized film from ten years earlier, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, which had featured Burt Lancaster as Earp and Kirk Douglas as Holliday. Oddly, Garner also played the lead as Wyatt Earp in a different movie filmed twenty-one years later, Blake Edwards's Sunset (1988), a comedy thriller based on the 1920s period during which Earp was a technical adviser for silent films.
