Review of 'Doc'

'Doc' (1971)
6/10
Stacey Keach plays Doc Holiday
20 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Dentist, gambler, and gun man this is the story of Doc Holiday and the gunfight in Tombstone, AZ. Stacy Keach does a good job in brining the historical character to life, and the movie does show him suffering from consumption (which is what he eventually died from). Faye Dunaway does an good job in bringing Kate Elder to life as Doc's lover. The movie does take some liberties though in the Kate knew and was a companion of John Holiday long before they arrived in Tombstone.

The main downfall of the movie is its some what slow pace, and glaring inaccuracies of the actual gunfight. For this reason I have down graded the movie.

Grade C
