Règlement de comptes à O.K. Corral

Been several years since I've seen this 1957 flick. Since that time I've seen Tombstone & Hour of the Gun. I've enjoyed both these subsequent interpretations of the Clanton-Earp feud . A toss-up between screen legend Kirk Douglas and Val Kilmer. Mustache event clearly goes to Kurt Russell and James Garner over Burt Lancaster. Lancaster plays it straight to the hilt and that's fine. The more interesting role is Doc Holiday who would have been a godsend to dentistry if he could have taken care of his cough. His lady friend ("you slut") looks like she has seen better days and the nod goes to Kilmer's gal -Kate played by Joanna Pacula. Kirk is great as always and proves a little cold water on the face is all you need (plus a few shots of courage) before a shootout. Johnny Ringo (John Ireland) has obviously lost his Cherry and crossed the Red River to Tombstone. Martin Milner (1 Adam 12), DeForest Kelly (Bones) and Dennis Hopper don't do to much but make you realize this movie almost 50 years old.

I recommend it because of the play between the two lead characters.
