- Synopsis:
- After Wyatt Earp's (Henry Fonda) brother James is murdered by cattle rustlers, the frontier legend becomes Tombstone's marshal and sets out to avenge the younger man's death. Torn between his badge and his fury, Earp confronts the likely killers, the notoriously lawless family of Old Man Clanton (Walter Brennan), setting the stage for the famed shoot-out at the O.K. Corral. Along the way, Earp falls in love with a schoolteacher named Clementine (Cathy Downs), which pits him against the cantankerous Doc Holliday. While 'My Darling Clementine' never loses its dynamism as a hard-hitting western, it is also a tender love story.

A likeable period piece - My Darling Clementine review by (NONE)
This was a remarkable film in its time. But that time is long gone. All films about the most famous gunfight in history are now judged by the Burt Lancaster / Kirk Douglas chef d'oevre. So everyone knows that Doc Holliday did NOT die in that battle (he died years later, in bed, of tuberculosis). And the Earps did not come to Tombstone because the Clantons had stolen their cattle. So why, telling the story of a real event, did they change it so? But meanwhile this is a beautifully staged and photographed film which can be viewed with pleasure as of its time. But time has totally upset its story line.
