Ron, in my humble opinion, there are five fine westerns in which they detailed the O.K. Corral gunfight. Researchers of today say all of them were historically inaccurate, but with varying degrees of inaccuracy. The rank of my favorites is as follows:Ronald Epstein said:Saw this years ago based on a nudge from Mr. Crawford.
I remember loving it completely. I have forgotten it completely, too.
...but that is a good thing. That means I am primed for a Blu-ray release.
I will await further comments on which is the preferred version. If only the
shorter version is being made available, and it is not preferred, I will hope that
Fox will release this domestically later this year.
My Darling Clementine
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
Hour of the Gun
Wyatt Earp
Tombstone
Wyatt Earp was perhaps the most historically accurate of the films followed by Hour of the Gun. I like both westerns a lot. However, the entertainment value of My Darling Clementine and Gunfight at the O,K. Corral makes them my two favorites. I like Tombstone, but mainly because of Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday. Also, Wyatt Earp and Hour of the Gun give us more of the back story on Wyatt Earp and his family, particularly, the former film which tells the story of Wyatt from his boyhood until his senior years.
