9/10
A fine Western
28 January 2002
Gunfight at OK Corral, like High Noon, is an example of the best the golden years of Hollywood have offered. And who cares that it's historically inaccurate. We're dealing with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday: legends - stories that examine human emotions, motives, ethics and morality. When Wyatt Earp says to Doc Holliday "treat that woman (Kate) decent or leave'er" he is mouthing a universal cry for justice in male/female relationships, not a recorded statement made by a marshal back in the 19th century. Gunfight at OK Corral is Art without which we wouldn't even be able to spell the word history, never mind make it.
