content: Though I am not a big Costner fan I must aknowledge when he does some superior acting,and in this classic,based on the life of one of the greatest lawman of the West,Wyatt Earp, he does just that. Filled with a moving story featuring Wyatt's earliest days in Kansas City, through Dodge City, to Tombstone and beyond it's a long trip but never boring. I must admit that Kurt Russell's action filled "Tombstone" I find even more enjoyable to view: but as a gritty realistic view of the Earp brothers attempts at settling down, this is a must see. Excellent cast! Am instant Western classic.
