My Darling Clementine / USA / 1946

This is a classic Ford Western, though it’s hardly a standard of the genre. Henry Fonda plays the infamous Wyatt Earp, who with his brothers, ride into Tombstone to find the usual helping of backstabbing and murder. Victor Mature is a standout as Doc Holliday (strangely not given top billing), Earp’s initial foil but ultimate ally. Timely, underplayed acting and Ford’s sometimes sentimental but unusually lyric touch here makes this an enjoyable entertainment.
