Stars Bruce Willis and James Garner playing Mix and Earp respectively capture the light-hearted spirit. Terrific screen chemistry between the duo insures that the action is fun and the personas credible. Willis truly looks the role of a plastic screen idol driving around polished Dusenberg cars with cattle horns as ornaments. The weathered Garner brings a world weariness to the role of Earp, a hint of western dust in his voice and memory of two many gunfights reflected in his eyes. Malcolm MacDowell provides ample villainy as the perverse studio head.   
     This is the first time I’ve been treated to Sunset in all its widescreen beauty. The anamorphic 2.35 images is very sharp. Contrasts are as bold as movie cowboys. Velvet blacks include detail. Color is slightly toward red, however, and the weathered western skin of Wyatt Earp looks like it’s accumulated too must red prairie dust. The Dolby 2-channel sound is excellent, showing off the Henry Mancini score. Mancini'’ score is lots of fun, even if it borrows liberally from classic westerns of the fifties. Ambient detail is also excellent. A rousing movie turns into a rousing DVD. Give Sunset a shot!
