You Know My Name

In six months the population of Cromwell Oklahoma has climbed from 500 to 10000. Boom times have come to the oil-rich town. So has a new breed of criminal. You Know My Name is the fact-based story of Bill Tilghman a lawman and ex-partner of Wyatt Earp confronting a new era when outlaws run whiskey instead of cattle and may as likely tote a tommygun as carry a six-gun. An ideally cast Sam Elliott plays Tilghman whose life takes on a newfangled wrinkle of its own. Tilghman makes a moving picture of his Old West exploits and the success of that silent film The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws spreads his reputation like a bushfire. But that reputation may mean nothing to a thug (arliss Howard) who hides behind a badge.
