I should edit the post to point out that Kevin Jarre wrote the screenplay and was the original director.

One day, when I was a kid living in San Francisco, my dad saw on the front page of the inewspaper that Wyatt Earp was buried in one of the two Jewish cemeteries in Colma, CA...(just south of SF), so he suggested that we drive down to see if we could find his tombstone, and we did. (It took a while to locate it)
