If you know anything about Westerns, you know who Wyatt Earp was and you know that that many great actors played him. ( Including Oscar Winners James Stewart, Burt Lancaster, Kevin Costner, Walter Huston and ( best of all) Henry Fonda).,This time it is Randolph Scott, and again if you know Westerns; just like you might expect, Scott does a good job with the character. Is it the best Earp? No that is My Darling Clementine ( Directed by John Ford and starring Fonda). Nor is it the worst ( I Married Wyatt Earp), but certainly worth watching. The problems with the movie were. 1: Doc Holliday ( or Halliday as he was called here) getting killed prior to the OK Corral shootout ( he died in a Sanitarium). 2: The OK Corral scene ( it was Wyatt against a gang here without his brothers and Holliday against the Clantons). 3: Halliday was a doctor from Illinois n the movie but a dentist from Georgia in real life. The best acting jobs came from Cesar Romero ( best know as the Joker from Batman) as Doc and Binnie Barnes as his dance hall girlfriend. I was happy to find this movie on YouTube, because it was one of my most wanted to see Westerns ( number 3 behind The Spoilers ( Gary Cooper version and Wolf Song also with Cooper).). I give it 8/10 stars. I deduct 3 stars for the major historical mistakes and add 1 back because it was a rarity that I finally got to see.
