Over praised film not worthy of its fame
Apart from the famous gunfight at the end, this is an oddly uninvolving western. The fine cast come across as mere cyphers, and Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday looks far too healthy to be dying of TB. John Sturges directed the much better sequel 'Hour of the Gun' a few years later. Worth a look, but not worth its fame.

Classic Western !
1956 "Gun Figth at the OK Corral" is one of the biguest box-office sucesses of the 1950's, its also a classic western, and a true prototype of the action adventure male fantasies that will be the staple of Hollywood productions from the late 60ths to todays's Bruckeimer/Nicholas Cage extravaganzas.
Producer Hall Wallis hired talented John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape)to remake once again the story of the Wyatt Earp/Doc Hollyday friendship who would culminate in the famous Ok Corral shooting against the infamous Clanton Gang. With great performances by all the cast and specially Kirk Douglas as Doc Hollyday and Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp, this is a pure joy to watch! Hollywood at his best in providing entertainment "Gunfigth at OK Corral" is a true classic! The dvd edition is just ok since it presents a good copy of the film in its original widescreen ratio, but without any significant extras. Lets hope there's a Special edition planned for this film..it sure deserves one!
