My Darling Clementine description The most famous and sublime treatment of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, John Ford's My Darling Clementine is by any measure one of the most classically perfect Westerns ever made. Henry Fonda plays a hard, serious Wyatt Earp leading a cattle drive west with his brothers when a stopover in the wild town of Tombstone ends in the murder of his yo ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Fonda is Great as Earp, Entertianing but Historically Inaccurate |
| This a great western with a tremendous cast spear headed by Henry Fonda. Although the story of Wyatt Earp, Tombstone and the Clantons is completely muddled, taking it as a good western 'story', this action packed film is highly entertaining. The all time great character actor Walter Breenan plays Old Man Clanton, who was actually long dead before the OK Coral (actually took place in an alley behind the OK), extraordinaryly well as a sly, canterkerous and evil badman. Victor Mature is excellent as the dying and erratically dangerous Doc Holiday, although Wyatt had met Holliday before and were good friends unlike a first meeting in the film, and he and Fonda's relationship set the tone of the film. In lesser supporting roles are Ward Bond (It's a Wonderful Life, Wagon Train), Tim Holt (Treasure of the Sierra Madre), Grant Withers (Fort Apache) and John Ireland (Red River). Very realistic with an authentic looking western town, saloons, costumes and scenes all within the back drop of Monument Valley where it was filmed. Forget the gross historical inaccurate aspects of the film, the real story was just or more as exciting, and enjoy the film. A high note is Fonda's portrayal of Earp, he is closer to the real Earp possibly than anyone in film. His character's low key demeanor, bravery, rational mind with a strong determination captures the real Earp quite well. Director John Ford had actually meet Earp when Ford was a young man. Great film to see Fonda, Brennan and Mature at their best. Oddly, Stuart Lake, who wrote the first great biograpy of Earp (although embellished), was one of the writers of the film story, apparently sticking with the facts was lost to a fictional yet entertaining yarn. | |
