Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) and Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas) clean up Dodge City.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey



Reasonably impressive and spectacular, with solid characterisation, an exceptional supporting cast, and wonderful photography by Charles Lang; but somehow it doesn't quite take off like John Ford's My Darling Clementine , which covered virtually the same events, and it's a shade overlong. It received Oscar nominations for best editing (Warren Low) and sound (George Dutton). Sturges made a sequel, Hour of the Gun (1967), but it wasn't as enjoyable.
