When Compared


with what was really going on In WE's life at the time of this flick, the story is patently absurd. When Wyatt first went to Kansas he was about 27 years old instead of actor's 55 years or there about. Many more melodramatic things in store, but a few reasonable ones like Earp's desire not to kill everyone in sight and having gunslingers take their guns off before entering town. Also Earp's famous long barreled gun didn't materialise until after this time period. Also nobody was a "fast draw" back then and, I could go on and on, but that's enough about somebody who deserved much better than this fairytale of the old West. Wichita, though, is middle west at best. Pleasant dreams.

Abraham Lincoln wasn't really a vampire killer, either.

It's a decent-quality, entertaining movie. That's all I asked of it, and I got it. If I want the facts on Earp, I'll read a book. And McCrea was forty-nine when he made it.
