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 territory
Another 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.

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 Corral
John 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 Corral
Hour 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
