Featured review
The Earp Brothers Trying to Tame Tombstone
This film begins in the late 1800's with "Wyatt Earp" (Richard Dix), "Virgil Earp" (Rex Bell) and "Morgan Earp" (Harvey Stephens) riding into the town of Tombstone, Arizona. Once there, they find a number of cowboys led by a man named "Curly Bill Brocious" (Edgar Buchanan) firing their pistols in the air and causing a great commotion. It is soon revealed that these same cowboys generally act with impunity due in large part to the corruption of the town mayor "Dan Crane" (Chartles Halton) and the local magistrate "Judge Fred Horgan" (Charters). At first, the Earp brothers pretty much take everything in stride until a young boy is shot and killed by one of these cowboys and nothing is done about it. It's then that Wyatt decides to become the town sheriff and with the help of "Doc Holliday" (Kent Taylor) and his two brothers decides to clean up the town once and for all. What they don't fully appreciate, however, is the fact that Curly Joe and his outlaws have no intention of allowing anyone to dictate how they will, or will not, behave. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a decent Western which--like most films based on true events--is somewhat embellished by Hollywood to attract larger audiences. To that effect, I suppose it succeeds to a certain extent. Having said that, however, I must admit that the story drags in certain places and perhaps encompasses too much detail in some aspects. Be that as it may, I found the movie to be quite watchable and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
