great, historically accurate movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2005)

How refreshing, after suffering through the historical butchery of "My Darling Clementine", "Warlock" & about four others... A movie with top-notch actors, and believability!
Perhaps because I live in Tombstone, I can appreciate this addicting movie.
The exchange between Sarah Marcus (Dana Delany) & Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russel), then their ride over the hills outside Tombstone...is magic. Better, knowing that it's true.
Anyone who enjoyed this movie, might like "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner...slower, less pure entertainment, but nearly spiritual to lovers of southwest history. Although it desperately needed the sparkle of a Dana Delany.
Every time I visit the grave of Johnny Ringo, or look up at the Oriental Saloon, the Cristal Palace Saloon, where Wyatt and Jim Earp dealt faro...or the beautiful Birdcage Theater where the Earps watched melodrama's (Alvira Earp's book, The Earps of Tombstone)... I see the actors of Tombstone, the movie.
Watch the movie....visit the town, you'll never forget it.
