Sunset (1988 Blake Edwards)

In Rod Amateau and Blake's story, 1929 cowboy star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis) is teamed up with Wyatt Earp (James Garner) by evil producer Malcolm MacDowell (when did he emigrate? The end of the seventies). The two get on great and are soon mixed up in a murder plot featuring Mariel Hemingway, Kathleen Quinlan (good - A Civil Action, Lawn Dogs, Apollo 13, The Doors), Jennifer Edwards, Patricia Hodge, Richard Bradford, M Emmet Walsh and Joe Dallesandro. And Dermot Mulroney.

Fortunately not in the Pink Panther slapstick mode, film has high production values and is generally good fun. Some memorable stunts and Spanish dancing scene, and an easy-going pairing between the two leads.

Score by Henry Mancini, handsomely photographed by Anthony Richmond.
