Jason Robards tackles Doc Holliday and, like practically every other actor who's essayed the role (Mature, Douglas, Kilmer, Quaid), has a grand old time cutting up. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 06/04/2019

Sturges has the guts to confront a myth he helped perpetuate 10 years earlier in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and examines the effects of its morally questionable violence on the men who helped perpetrate it. Go to Full Review Nathanael Hood The Retro Set 12/29/2018

j F 11/13/2024 Robard stole the show as doc holiday, while Gardner was a little stiff, but I guess that what westerns were all about! Wonderful movie. See more Nol P @NolPKelowna 06/27/2024 I am glad I watched this movie finally and even though it moved slow at times. The bro chemistry was good between Robards and Garner as Holliday and Earp and I enjoyed the landscape backdrops of the southwest, the movie sets, cinematography and history. My rating based on this RT system is yes worth a watch. Not a bad running time too. See more 06/17/2023 Really good one right here. You need to try it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, June 16, 2023. See more Steve D 03/22/2023 As is often the case, the film fails to show much of the true story. See more 08/11/2017 Enjoying my last day of vacation. See more 07/15/2016 The Wyatt Earp story after the Gun Fight at the OK Coral. It had that late 1960's early 1970's Western Feel. Not a bad Western. The kind of Western I grew up watching.
