Product Description:

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

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 ... Read More

Rating: - 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 ... Read More
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - Borderline
While not actually awful, "Sunset" (1988) is unexpectedly bad considering what it has going for it. Bruce Willis plays Tom Mix and James Garner plays Wyatt Earp; in truth they just play themselves (their standard characters) and because they are both very likable and have decent chemistry together the film has a strong foundation. Writer/director Blake Edwards gets his chance to make a film about old Hollywood movie-making, a project he was passionate about and worked hard to pull off. So it should ... Read More
