Programme Information

A bona fide classic and without doubt the best film about Wyatt Earp and the gunfight at the OK Corral. Henry Fonda plays Tombstone's marshal who, with the help of Victor Mature's Doc Holliday, tracks down the clan who killed his brother. Full of meaning and perfectly framed imagery, this is the western at its best, mesmerising and mythical.
