Review of Sunset

Sunset (1988)
6/10
The tag-line is true about a lie or two
23 January 2007
After watching the move I did some research on Tom Mix & Wyatt Earp. This movie was set in early 1929 during the academy awards (March?). Wyatt died Jan. 13 1929 at the age of 80. You do the math. Tom Mix was still a force in Hollywood. Tom's career was sliding with the advent of talkies. Tom & Wyatt did know each other & Tom was a pallbearer at Wyatt Earp's funeral in 1929. So some truth and a lot of fiction. I liked the brothel as history does say that there was one that used girls that resembled Hollywood stars of the day. So there was some truth to that part. I think the movie deserves better than 2 1/2 stars that it gets on the movie guide.
