Movie Reviews of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp - From Ellsworth to Tombstone
Movie Review: Fine DVD release of a vintage television Western
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" was significant in television history as it, "Cheyenne," and "Gunsmoke" were among the very first of the so called "adult Westerns" to be broadcast on network television. Prospective buyers of this DVD set should be aware that this 2005 release is not a season 1 release, but rather a "best of" collection of episodes that arrived with very little fanfare. For some fans of the series, that might be enough to put them off but, frankly, this is a "best of" DVD release with a difference. There is an attempt to present the 26 episodes in this collection in chronological order and focus on the historical events in the life of Wyatt Earp (at least as much as a weekly, non-documentary TV series allows), right up through the climactic gunfight at the O.K. Corral. There are also present day interviews with star Hugh O'Brian and Mason Dinehart III, who played Bat Masterson in the early years of the series, plus a historical timeline about the real Wyatt Earp and other members of the Earp family. For a series that began broadcasts in 1955, it was somewhat surprising to see this welcome bonus material included and one has to credit the independent releasing company, Rhino Home Video, with delivering one of the better vintage TV-on-DVD packages in recent memory.
As might be expected for a 50 year old television series, there are occasional film specks and grain present on the episodes, at least on the sampling of episodes that I've watched on disc 1. But, for the most part, the episodes look fairly crisp, and the slight imperfections found shouldn't deter anyone interested in this series; it's a worthwhile release for fans of "Wyatt Earp" and classic TV Westerns, in general.
