Production

Development

The University of Arizona Press published the memoir I Married Wyatt Earp in 1976, listing the author as Josephine Earp, and edited by Glenn Boyer. Some critics questioned Boyer's sources for the book, but Stephen Cox, then director of the University of Arizona Press, told the Arizona Daily Star in July 1998 that he stood behind the authenticity of the book. It is the second best-selling book about Western Deputy U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp ever sold.

Filming

The TV movie was filmed in 1981 but not broadcast until 1983. It is Ross Martin's final performance.
