Yet another Earp-related movie
30 January 2021
I don't know that anyone has been portrayed more often in the movies than Wyatt Earp - he has become a legend at every level and I think it has become impossible for any flick to tell what serious historians have uncovered: that he was a cattle rustler before he became lawman to serve his own interests. Anyway, at least this version is different from any other I have watched in that Doc Holliday dies and the Clanton clan is not even heard about.

This entry by Director Allan Dwann starts well and boasts excellent performances by the two leading ladies - Brit Binne Barnes is particularly memorable as a hooker not to be trifled with - Eddie Foy Jr. and Cesar Romero.

Scott is OK. Competent b&w cinematography. Acceptable script enhanced by sharp dialogue. notably when Barnes gets in the thick of the action.

Worth watching for a different angle on the most told story of the Old West.
