Sunset (1988 film)

Based on an unpublished novel by Rod Amateau, the plot has Earp and Mix solve a murder in Hollywood in 1929. Although Sunset has some comedic elements, it veers much more to the period mystery genre of old Hollywood. Reviewers, such as Roger Ebert, struggled trying to define the film.
