Sunset - Should've Been a Cowboy - Toby Keith

[maidavids]

"Sunset" must be my favorite cowboy movie, with two of my favorite actors - James Garner and Bruce Willis - playing two of my favorite historical figures - Wyatt Earp and Tom Mix - friends in real life. Tom Mix was one of the pallbearers at Earp's funeral.

I remember this film, it was such an interesting story idea. Heh to the line/clip about the sidekick with the funny name!

I have watched this show SO many times! Later I was reading about Charlie Chaplin having a bad rep and was reminded that the villain in the movie definitely reminded me of Charlie Chaplin. That made me associate to The Crown and how difficult it is to balance fiction and non-fiction when you're making changes to real events. Anyway, it was definitely a fun video to make.

Yes, old Hollywood was not any nicer a place than today -- and maybe even more risky.
