Trivia Prior to production, United Artists had made it clear to director John Sturges that none of the primary roles were to be filled by actors who had played the same characters in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957). Sturges believed that the roles of Virgil and Morgan Earp from the previous film were small enough that the same actors could do it again without harming the film's uniqueness. The studio agreed, and allowed Sturges to cast John Hudson and DeForest Kelley. Hudson had retired from acting in the early 1960s, and was unwilling to come back. Kelley was working on Star Trek (1966) and unable to break away. Thus, both Earp brothers were re-cast. See more »
Goofs In the gunfight, it shows only Billy Clanton, Tom McLaury and Frank McLaury in the OK Corral and the Earps outside. In reality, the gunfight took place in a vacant lot behind the OK Corral. In that lot were the Earp party, Billy Clanton, the McLaury's, Ike Clanton and Billy Claibourne along with two horses. See more »
