Searching...
Set in 1929 Hollywood, the story revolves around the legendary Tom Mix, who is making his first talkie western, an epic story about the life and times of Wyatt Earp, the famous lawman. When Earp, who is still alive, is hired as technical adviser on the movie, egos clash and the two become uneasy partners, until a real-life murder calls for some real Wild West skills to be applied to Hollywood.
...It's both an affectionate valentine to the movies and a Raymond Chandler-esque murder mystery....There are fine performances -- especially Garner's -- and Edwards gives the film a great, voluptuously comic look...
