Guest host Keith Carradine introduces Hour Of The Gun, 1967.

Civilized rustler Ike Clanton (Robert Ryan) is philosophical and firm, briefing his crew after the gunfight with Wyatt Earp (James Garner) et al, Bill Fletcher the sheriff, Michael Tolan, Albert Salmi, young Jon Voight and Steve Inhat featured, early in John Sturges’ eventually-acclaimed Hour Of The Gun, 1967.

Arriving Tucson relaying his murdered brother’s body home, having learned via telegraph that he’s now a federal marshal, Wyatt Earp (James Garner), with pal Doc Holliday (Jason Robards Jr.) consults lawman McMasters (Monte Markham), then begins his notably harsh retaliation, in John Sturges’ Hour Of The Gun, 1967.

Relaxing over cards after being acquitted for their part in the gunfight, Jason Robards Jr. as Doc Holliday, James Garner as Wyatt Earp, Frank Converse and Sam Melville as brothers Virgil and Morgan, Karl Swenson their doctor friend, Jon Voight among the assassins, in John Sturges’ chilling Hour Of The Gun, 1967.

As forceful a claim to authenticity as any Western ever made, joining just after the credits, director John Sturges stages the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in about the time it really took, James Garner and Jason Robards Jr. as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, Robert Ryan the glaring villain Clanton, in Hour Of The Gun, 1967.
