Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957)
Interestingly enough, when I first started watching westerns, I didn’t like them. I even claimed I didn’t like the entire genre – until I watched Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. This oldie is one of the best, and it started me down a very enjoyable road of cowboys, horses, good values, and villains sure to get punished. If you are like how I used to be and don’t like westerns, add this one to your list. It has good acting and an exciting story amidst the horses and rifles, enough to change your mind!
Burt Lancaster plays Wyatt Earp and Kirk Douglas plays Doc Holliday in this version of the famed shootout in Tombstone, Arizona. If you’ve never seen a Wyatt Earp movie—yes, there are plenty to choose from—this is a great one to start with. You might want to end with this one, too, to quit while you’re ahead. The chemistry between the two leads is dynamite, and the story is extremely exciting, which is a credit to Leon Uris’s script and John Sturges’s directing. It takes a great talent to make a film thrilling when the entire premise is a countdown to a very brief event that’s already been recorded in history books. High Noon tried to hold audience’s attentions by counting down the time to a shootout, but I found it incredibly boring and poorly acted.
Be on the lookout for several familiar faces among the cast, including Jo Van Fleet, John Ireland, Earl Holliman, Dennis Hopper, DeForest Kelley, Whit Bissell, and Martin Milner. For a fantastic western with two classy and wonderful actors, rent Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
