Director Blake Edwards departed from his customary sex farces to direct an unusual satirical Western comedy-thriller. In 1927, legendary lawman Wyatt Earp (James Garner) comes to Hollywood to serve as an advisor to a film studio making a movie about Earp's life. He meets silent screen cowboy star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis). The two stumble upon a murder that has apparently occurred on the set but is linked to a renowned bordello. The aging cowboy and the young actor set off on a series of time-warp misadventures to try to solve the mystery. Along the way, they encounter the shady Alfie Alperin (Malcom McDowell) and the intriguing Cheryl King (Mariel Hemingway). ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Blake Edwards directed this comedy about two legendary cowboys who face off in Hollywood and it has been given a well-proportioned DVD release. Sunset has been given two transfers for this release -- one in letterboxed format at the film's original widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (which is also enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors), and a pan-and-scan version at the full-screen ratio of 1.33:1. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Surround, and viewers may choose between the original English-language audio and subbed tracks in Spanish and French. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are also included. Trailers for other titles starring Bruce Willis have been included as a bonus. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
