In any event, memories were presumed to be shorter then so no one was going to judge the 1939 version by its predecessor. Since you mention <i>Tombstone</i> I'm inclined to say that, however compromised, it's probably my favorite version of the legend.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-61868318090280892682011-10-23T22:20:30.231-04:002011-10-23T22:20:30.231-04:00Well to be honest any teaming up of Carradine and ...Well to be honest any teaming up of Carradine and Chaney is most desirable for movie fans. This one as you alude to certainly has historical value as well. I have not seen it but pretty much have seen every other film based on the Earps. You mention GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL and TOMBSTONE but of course there are several others, including a rather famous one by John Ford! Ha! Dwan realizes of course that as this was the first film on this subject he could take some liberties (I note you claim this is a re-make)<br /><br />And a Wyatt Earp film without Clanton being mentioned?<br /><br />Wow.<br /><br />Great stuff here as always!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
