Amazon.com:
Blake Edwards directed this homage to both the Old West and the silent era in filmmaking that undeservedly received indifferent reviews and did little business. James Garner is perfectly cast as Wyatt Earp who, his lawman days behind him, is brought to Hollywood in the waning days of silent movies to serve as a consultant on a movie about his life. There, he hooks up with cowboy star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis, in relaxed, low-key mode) and together they solve a murder. Though Edwards includes elements of slapstick, he actually puts together a fairly involving mystery plot and a compelling cast of characters, including Malcolm McDowell, Mariel Hemingway, and Dermot Mulroney. But this is Garner's film, aided by a surprisingly likable Willis performance. --Marshall Fine

- ...and that's the way it really happened.
- Tom Mix: "How many men you killed?"
- Wyatt Earp: "How many cars you got?"
- Mix: "About sixteen."
- Earp: "You got more cars."

Did you know that, in the early days of cinema (circa late 1920s), fabled frontier marshall Wyatt Earp came to Hollywood to act as a cowboy movie consultant, but that he ended up solving a murder mystery? And with a little help from legendary silent western film star Tom Mix? Dudes, hunker down and sip a rusty cuppa nostalgia, and let this movie tell you all about it.

SUNSET, when released in 1988, didn't do diddly in the box office. The film critics pretty much unanimously took a stinky squat over it. Me, I've always liked it. Even now, after repeated viewings, I still enjoy the thrill and onrush of nostalgia at seeing two larger-than-life characters meeting up and running roughshod over vintage Tinseltown. That Wyatt Earp was actually a Hollywood ... Read More

- And that's the truth, give or take a lie or two
"Sunset" is one of the best 'odd couple' films I've ever seen. Bruce Willis (Tom Mix) and James Garner (Wyatt Earp) work together beautifully. And the story could be the truth 'give or take a lie or two.' Mix was one of Earp's pallbearers and wept openly at his funeral.

"Sunset's" a funny and heartrending take on Hollywood. You see deadly gunfights acted out with the old gunfighter watching from the wings. You also see cruelty, corruption and sadism in real life that couldn't have taken place in films of that vintage.

My main reason for giving this film less than a 5 is because the video and audio were very poorly dubbed. I'm not entirely sure whether I got a bad press or the whole batch is like this, but it was apparent and distracting from the film itself.

Still, "Sunset" is very worth watching and keeping for your viewing pleasure again.

- Big disappointment
Comedy/mystery/western based on the fictional pairing of old west lawman Wyatt Earp (James Garner) and movie star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis) in 1929 Hollywood. Producer, and ex-silent film comedian Alfie Alperin (Malcolm McDowell) convinces Mix to star in a film biography of Earp, and Earp is hired on as a technical advisor. Soon, however, Alperin is revealed to be less of a benevolent studio head than his reputation would lead one to believe, and Mix and Earp find themselves dangerously involved in a burgeoning murder mystery.

Despite its less than sterling rep I was looking forward to watching SUNSET (1988). It reteams Garner with director Blake Edward, with whom he'd collaborated on the wonderful `Victor/Victoria' in 1982. And it has Garner reprising a role he'd played in 1967's `The Hour of the Gun.' I have to admit I'm not much of a fan of Willis, but he doesn't normally drag down a movie. Willis doesn't ... Read More
