"Wyatt and the Duke" brings to life one of Hollywood's most intriguing legends--that an aging Wyatt Earp was the real-life mentor to a promising young actor named Marion Morrison, later known to the world as John Wayne. Did Earp really mold Wayne's uniquely American screen persona? Many believe he did, but one thing is for sure, Patrick Cirillo, a Hollywood insider himself, will make you believe it happened, or if it didn't, it damn well should have.
Set amid the opulence, crime, and decadence of 1927 Hollywood, 19-year-old Marion Morrison is given the role of a lifetime when he is cast to play Wyatt Earp in the studio's first talking picture. To be sure he gets it right, the studio hires Wyatt Earp, now 79, to mentor him for the part. The two couldn't be more opposite. Duke is fun-loving and boyish. Wyatt is hot-tempered and dark. Sparks fly from the beginning, but gradually they find friendship and purpose when they undertake a dangerous mission that gives Duke a chance to prove his worth and Wyatt an opportunity to revive and embrace his legend one more time.
