" 'Doc' " 1971 R 1h 36m.
.. It's another version of the old OK Corral story with the Earps and Doc Holiday. And, it's pretty good. It's very gritty. The director makes the sets and scenery look more the way it might have been: dirty, dusty, Arizona, where men are men, life is hard, and sometimes it's very short.
.. Because the movie is called Doc, it focuses on Doc. Stacy Keach does a really good job as Doc. Keach may be the quintessential, Doc Holiday! The movie touches heavily on the women involved with the Earps and Holiday. We especially get to meet Faye Dunaway as Katie (aka Big Nose Kate), Doc's girlfriend. Faye is awesome. Harris Yulin is a good actor, but he was terrible as Wyatt Earp. It's just not Yulin's thing.
.. The movie is really good, but it has it's flaws. I'm just not 100% sure about some of the writing, directing, and casting.
.. FYI: She was just called Katie in this movie. In most of the Earp movies she is known as Kate or Big Nose Kate. In real life, she went by a lot of names: she was also known as Katie Elder, Kate Fisher, Nosey Kate, Mrs. John H. "Doc" Holliday, Kate Melvin, and Kate Cummings. Don't ask me why. I'm just the messenger. I'm guessing because she was a prostitute and moved a lot.
.. And oh gee, guess what? Noflicks doesn't carry this one. Only one of the best OK Corral movies of all time! LMAO
