The street lanterns are on by the time Wyatt Earp (Randolph Scott) saunters sans Doc Holiday and his brothers, solo down to the OK Corrall to confront Curly Joe Brosius and his gang in this semi action packed overtly sentimental western directed by Allan Dwan.
Wyatt Earp comes to Tombstone and after a threatening introduction befriends Doc Holiday (Caesar Romero). Hard as nails dance hall girl Jerry (Binnie Barnes) is possessive of Doc and after making enemies with Earp when he humilates her and takes sides with her love foe (Nancy Kelly) plots to off him during a silver shipment.
A Saturday kid's matinee western, Dwan's direction at times harkens back to his silent two reeler days with its mawkish moments and haphazard gunplay as Scott stands tall among the chaos interspersed with Eddie Foy (played by son Jr.), who once crossed paths with Earp and Holiday, doing comic pratfalls to the delight of stock barroom characters.
Scott is noble but aged better as a cowpoke while Romero makes a dashing but unconvincing Doc. Kelly is dull, Barnes shrill. An archaic western, even in its day.
