When film producer Alfie Alpern (Malcolm McDowell) sets about to make a western in 1927, he hires Tom Mix (Bruce Willis) to play Wyatt Earp and actually brings Earp (James Garner) on set as the consultant.
When the proprietess of the hot bordello The Candy Store is murdered, Mix and Earp team up to solve the mystery.
Also in the cast are Mariel Hemingway as the daughter of the murdered woman; Kathleen Quinlan as Tom Mix's girlfriend; Jennifer Edwards as Alfie's sister; Patricia Hodge as Alfie's wife; Dermot Mulroney as Alfie's stepson; Richard Bradford and M. Emmet Walsh as cops.
Big Henry Mancini music.
Okay, so it got a couple of Razzie nominations and even won one (Worst Director), it's still a fun romp on a rainy day.
Screenplay and directed by Blake Edwards.
Run time: 1 hour, 47 minutes
Rated R.
My personal rating: B-
