Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "I know you. You can't live like me," says Doc Holliday to Wyatt Earp. Wyatt Earp shows that he can.
The gunfight at the O.K. Corral is just over. Bodies lie in the dust. Now the killing really begins. Please note that elements of the plot are discussed, but first, a civics lesson. Ike Clanton (Robert Ryan) is determined to buy or shoot his way into power in Arizona. The territory sooner or later will be a state. Clanton knows all those "Easterners" are moving in with their own ideas of law, order and who should be in control. Standing in his way is Wyatt Earp (James Garner). Earp is a no-nonsense ...

Rating: - A FINE BUT UNEVEN WESTERN FILM
"Hour of the Gun" was one of the first attempts to accurately portray Wyatt Earp and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the bloody aftermath which followed. The movie begins with an exciting and fairly-accurate reenactment of the historic gunfight. The rest of the film itself is fine, but a tad bit uneven in its storytelling and characters. The story drags a bit, but picks up when the guns are drawn. It's also a tad historically inaccurate, though films of the time never tried too hard to be correct ... Read More

HOUR OF THE GUN (1967) was the first movie to ostensibly tell the true story of Wyatt Earp and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Earlier, better known films, like John Ford's MY DARLING CLEMENTINE and John Sturges' GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL, had dealt with the subject but were more fiction ... Read More
Rating: - Underrated Sturges Film- Wild Bunch territory
Another example of Maltin getting it wildly wrong with a two star rating. Excellent maintenance of tone throughout with standout performance from Mr Garner beautifully offset by the amusing and cynical performance by Mr Robards. An excellent Western, up there with Missouri Breaks, Wild Bunch etc. Lucien Ballard photography is a standout.
Rating: - A Western Masterpiece With A Twist
"Bad Day at Black Rock" director John Sturges revisits the Wyatt Earp/Ike Clanton feud in "Hour of the Gun" with James Garner and Jason Robards that he began in 1957 with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in the Hal B. Wallis production of "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." Although Sturges' "Hour of the Gun" boasts greater visual and historic realism than "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral," this sequel of sorts veers off course toward the end and two-time Oscar-winning scenarist Edward Anhalt of "Becket" contrives ... Read More
