CROSSOVER MADNESS

 One of the lesser aspects of Howard Hughes' notorious 1943 THE OUTLAW, in which the screenwriter spins a fictional story about two western legends, Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday. In real history the two men were contemporaries but there's no record that they ever met, much less quarreled over a horse and a woman (in that same order of importance.) A fictional version of Sheriff Pat Garrett appears as well but I consider him ancillary to the legend of William Bonney.
