I Married Wyatt Earp

Good movie...but not historically accurate........2005-11-10

After reading the book that this movie was based on, I was excited to watch it. The movie is a wonderful western, full of drama, action and of course romance. However for years I have been reading up on Tombstone as well as the feud that happened there many years ago, I was dissapointed at how innacurate the movie was historically as well as from the book "I Married Wyatt Earp". For example, Josie met Johnny first not Wyatt, that Josie had actually worked as one of the birdcage theater girls which is where her and Wyatt would meet most of the time and how after she first met Johnny she went home to S.F until Johnny sent for her to come to Tombstone. Not to mention that the movie never focused on the fact that because her and Johnny lived together for sometime, Josie got to know many of the "famous" cowboys that the Earps were against. The movie sadly focused on Josie and Wyatts time in Tombstone and portrayed her as a saint..which she was not. There was more to Wyatt and Josie's life after Tombstone, which is what the book is really based on.
I guess the bottom line is that for the price you can't go wrong. It is a good western and is very entertaining to watch. Marie Osmond as well as the other cast members do some wonderful acting, and the movie does help you to understand how the feud was probably started. However, if you want to have an accurate historical account on Josie and Wyatt Earps life, purchase and read the book first and then watch the movie. You'll get a whole lot more out of it that way.

Worth Buying...A must for Marie Osmond Fans.......2005-08-18

I felt at times that the movie was not true historicly as far as old west time period behavior,(there were women dressed respecably in the saloon serving drinks as respecable waitress types...and people attending Osmonds performance in the saloon were acting as if it were a modern day show rather than a saloon in the old west and most of the patrons had dates) and I never got lost in the story I was always fully aware that I was watching a Marie Osmond movie. I did like it though, I am a Marie fan and really enjoyed it. The male stars all did a great job. Boxlitener was believable and so were all of the others who played Doc Holiday, etc. Anyway, I did like it and am glad I bought it.
