Hour of the Gun review keeps Wyatt Earp in a dull post shootout
Nadine Subotnik reviews Hour of the Gun a Mirisch production by United Artists at the Iowa theater. James Garner plays Wyatt Earp in a color film that leans on talk more than action with Jason Robards as Doc Holliday and Robert Ryan as Ike Clanton. The piece faults director John Sturges for underusing strong actors and finds the western lacking energy and a strong stance on Earp’s legacy.
