Hour of the Gun (1967) - James Garner as Wyatt Earp

[@HighGek]

This is the era of the really good nitty gritty westerns.

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

This movie is good for too many reasons! 💪🏼🤠

[@benHodah]

One of the best westerns ever made , James garner, and Jason Robards just looked the part 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@scotthamp384]

[@Llyod223]

This is a great western .I.would love to see a continuation of making great western this is top of the line western

[@SilverSurfer_]

Somehow realy a masterpiece of James.

[@deacondavis5098]

Jerry Goldsmith’s score packs a punch!!!

[@charlesodell804]

Yes, from beginning to end the score was great.

[@cobracorporal6738]

I actually went to Tombstone, AZ on *December 7th, 2021*

Dont mess with Wyatt !!!!

[@curtsellers8921]

Just read that this is considered the most accurate portrayal of the gunfight.

🤗 LOVE James Garner 🥰🙏🏼

[@TralfazConstruction]

A personal favorite of mine. I don't know how it's so undersung as I perceive it. It's got quite a cast with Jason Robards putting a wry, dry twist on his portrayal of "Doc Holliday". James Garner's no- nonsense approach to "Wyatt Earp" is the centerpiece of this movie. Sort of a serious buddy movie a couple of years prior to the release of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid so there's that too. Was Hour of the Gun (1967) overshadowed by Bonnie & Clyde's sensational release? Probably so.

[@geraldselves255]

The clip where the Dir John Ford talks on the gunfight is on youtube and the true fight , as John Ford says as told by Wyatt Earp is in the movie My Clementine ! .

[@efrenlozoya8720]

Good movie, but there's historically some flaws in the making. There was no railroad linking Tombstone until 1903. Billy Clanton was not heeled during the fight.

[@tss77]

Doc Holliday only had one true friend and that was Wyatt Earp.

[@charlesodell804]

Right.

[@thecowboy9698]

And yet, Big Nose Kate was the one by Doc's deathbed. Wyatt did not learn of Doc's death until some months later.

[@andrewstackpool4911]

Partly correct, except they weren't in the corral and there was a lot more movement. Ike was unarmed and ran up Wyatt who told him to get to fighting or get out of it. Virgil, who was Marshal called them to throw up their hands. There was a pause as they faced each other off. His final words were "It doesn't have to come to this." ANother point everyone seems to get wrong. Wyatt was not using a Colt Peacemaker or the proved mythical Buntline Special. He was using a Schofield Model 3 with an 8-inh barrel

[@stephenroberts5395]

Also Cully Bill wasn't there at all

[@connie5474]

James was the best Earp

[@andrewstackpool4911]

Minute .54 Incorrect. Behan met them further down the street and said that he had spoken to the Cowboys and that they were leaving town. They ignored him, but he followed them.

Esa película la hicieron en cuencame

[@joeboivin3897]

If you read the tombstone epitaph this movie is probably the closest to the truth out of all the tombstone movies Wyatt Earp was no Angel either he’d wait for you to stumble out of the bar drunk shoot in the back …..😮In the 1960s I met a descendents doing the reenactments of the shootout at the OK corral in tombstone good times .

[@nathanroberts355]

If there a movie about the famous lawman wyatt earp and I would play him the legend lawman

[@davidfrost779]

Never been a fan of James Garner, but no pun intended this film was better than OK as in OK corral

[@rumarspencer7302]

Particular reason why you weren't a fan?

[@davidfrost779]

@@rumarspencer7302 I just didn't think much of James Garner,s acting he did better as he got older, and I couldn't stand The Rockford Files I gave up watching that after 2 or 3 episodes, the ones I saw I remember them being boring and confusing

[@rumarspencer7302]

@davidfrost779 Very good episodes, love the episodes when he gets beat up, clashes with Diehl and Chapman.

[@davidfrost779]

@@rumarspencer7302 I might remember those episodes

LOVE James GARNER FROM AZERBAYCAN 🇦🇿🇮🇱🌄💫🤲🤲💝💞💞

[@jimchurchill5651]

In the beginning of this movie the screen says, "This movie is based on facts, this is how it really happened". I didn't see anything that was factual to history how it really happened. Still a good movie though.

[@geraldselves255]

I once saw a youtube clip Where the Movie Dir John Ford said he was told by Wyatt Earp how the gunfight went and he put it in the movie as such , but I thought it was the B/W movie made earlier .

[@jimchurchill5651]

@@geraldselves255 The movie Tombstone is the closest to history facts, even down to the saddles and guns used during that time.

[@geraldselves255]

@@jimchurchill5651 I agree with you on tombstone , I am stating what John Ford said in the interview about Earp how told him and drew a picture map of the fight , but as James Gardner said in a movie Sunset where he plays Wyatt Earp he says " Oh yes that's the truth that's the way it happened , with one or two lie's "

[@jimchurchill5651]

@@geraldselves255 That's kind of hearsay evidence.

[@macmcleod1188]

@jimchurchill5651 apparently to costumed accurately, Tombstone wasn't completely accurate either. Wyatt Earp is apparently less well costumed but closer to the facts. There is a video that goes over this and other movies.

[@charlesodell804]

A great film with very little relation to the truth.

[@RW4X4X3006]

It's the most accurate version in film, which of course, makes it less entertaining for many.

[@ReservoirPunk]

@@RW4X4X3006 No it isn't. Not even close. Wyatt Earp(1994) is probably the most historically accurate movie based on these events and that's saying something.

[@alexanderarnaut9478]

You were there? So tell us the truth

[@stevenrivinius1484]

Kind of funny since all the books that they claim are facts that they used for the other movies were printed after this movie was so it kind of makes you wonder huh. You have to remember when they wrote the script for this movie there was still people around that were alive back then

[@focusingbeauty]

Doc looks healthy for a lunger.

[@stevenbrown5210]

That was badly timed and poorly acted. Whos the director of this train wreck?
