Review of 'Doc'

'Doc' (1971)
1/10
just plain bad
18 October 2005
This movie indeed skips the epic parts that made Wyatt Earp and his pals famous,but other than that its a total fabrication or even worse, a bad attempt to falsify history. I know that Mr.Earp wasn't a very nice guy and doc holliday, sick as he was, had nothing to lose anyway so he for sure was a dangerous one. But in this movie he is a nice guy that even befriends the enemy.... (don't make me laugh)...and even worse, he draws his gun on Wyatt Earp! Was this director on drugs or did he wish the story would have been this way? I watched this movie stunned and couldn't believe what i saw.... If you want to see what really happened then go watch tombstone or Wyatt Earp, those are the closest thing to the truth as far as it gets. And forget the hero stuff around it, cause the thing is heroes are made by others and none of those men where close to being one, they just where on a collision course and the whole drama was unavoidable. Just think what would have happened had they lost the gunfight???
