Chuck Vinch staff writer on movies Wyatt Earp rated pg-13 a a a a must see. Worth Ybur time. Passable entertainment. Corning soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait Only Hollywood could take Over three hours to Tell the Story of a Man whose claim to Fame was a 30-second gunfight. Kevin Costner and director Lawrence Kasdan do just that in this plodding Wyatt Earp biopic which grinds on with Alt the urgency of a Wagon train inching across the Prairie. Kasdan who also wrote the script with Dan Gordon is clearly enamoured of his subject a to much so. Each episode in Earp a itinerant life is Given. Equal weight an approach that keeps the film from developing a Point of View. The result is that even the Climax the mythic gunfight at . Corral seems to sneak up out of nowhere and barely registers before passing by. Earp s life did no to become interesting until he first pinned on a badge in Kansas and it stopped being noteworthy hot Jong after the famous shootout in. Tombstone Ariz. But Kasdan starts his. Story in Earp a Early years on the family farm in Iowa under he Strong hand of his father Nicholas Gene Hackman. The film documents Earp a first marriage to the fair u Rill a Ann abet i Gish followed by a subsequent tragedy and several rootless years this segment could have been told effectively in 20 minutes but Kasdan takes Well Over an hour. Things perk up somewhat when Wyatt meets de and Bat Masterson. Bill Pullman and Tom Sizemore and he ads to w Ich Ita of r his first Stin t a s a Law Man. Along the Way he strikes up his Odd Friendship with the killer Doe. Holliday Dennis Quai a Georgia Dandy who is already dying of lube ecu Losis when they meet. Wyatt soon moves on to the wild cow town of Dodge City with Brothers Virgil Michael Madse James David Andrews and Morgan Linden Ashbrand their carping wives Catherine of Hara Alison Elliot and to Beth William Sand then on to. Tombstone. Wyatt himself endures a starkly depressing relationship with common jaw wife Mattie Mare winning Hama drug addicted sex whore before succumbing late in the film to the charms o f gorgeous j Osie m Arcus Joanna going an actress in a travelling theater troupe. A Costner even More taciturn and morose than usual does no to help his own cause. In the right film he can Shine in a Gary Coper ish sort of Way but when the material gets bumpy he a not the kind of actor who can carry a movie on sheer his career he has also had the strange habit of modulating his speech in a Way that gives the impression he a Reading off Cue cards and he. Does it again Here. ,. Check out the scene in which he courts Urilla on her front porch swing for a perfect example of this annoying phenomenon. A Sharp director might out to him but Costner a Box office clout apparently has put him above such indignities. A a As in Tombstone another recent. Film treatment of the Earp legend the Holliday character is one of the few saving graces. Hacking up a lung in a every scene the skeletal Quaid to who dropped 40 pounds for the role a labors heroically to lighten the mood. A my mama always told me done to put off till tomorrow what you can kill today a Quaid rasps in his whiskey soaked voice As he reels off to another shootout at Wyatt a Side. After a while its hard to keep track of All the Brothers and All their wives and harder still to care about what happens to them. Kasdan also docs a poor Job of articulating the factors behind the e . Corral showdown although that a True of almost every Wyatt Earp film Ever made. Tombstone with Kurt Russell As Wyatt and Val Kilmer As Doc was almost As unfocused As this film but it took itself much less seriously and thus was far More fun to watch. It was also a lot Shorter. Wyatt Earp on the other hand is a grim and tedious endurance test. Page 12 sunday july 10, 1994
