Product Description

Amazon.ca

Novelist Leon Uris wrote the script for this Western directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) and based on the life and times of Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) and his sickly companion, Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas). The action inevitably leads to the legendary battle between the two heroes and the villainous Clanton gang, but the film is also very much about the conflicts each man faces with women, with one another, and with their own destinies. Lancaster is terrific as the downbeat Earp, and Douglas has one of his best roles as the consumptive Holliday. The thoughtfulness of the tale is matched by Sturges's captivating way with the dramatic duel. All in all, the film appeals both as a solid action piece and as a fascinating, two-character study. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Western bang bangs Mar 22 2013
By Maurice A. Rhodes
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is years since I first saw this classic and one gets a little confused with all the TV interpretations of Doc Holiday, the Clantons and Wyatt Earp. But this is the definitive version with outstanding performances by Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas et al. Interesting to note that the screenplay was by Leon Uris and had tremendous direction. This film was produced before the special effects of derring-do which are now popular with Craig Stevens' James Bond movies. Maybe it's me looking back but I like these old understated tales where first-class acting and great photography rtake precedence over unreal feats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie..... Mar 23 2006
By Mark A. Wallace
Format:DVD
Out of the three movies based on Wyat Eyrp ("Gunfight at the O.k. Coral", 'Tombstone" and "Wyat Eyrp") this is my second favorite of the three. Kirk Douglas poors in an
incredible performance and Burt Langcaster is at his best. Not much else to say here
because I dont want to get into somthing real long here go out and watch if you want'
to see a great western.

Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than OK May 16 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Much like its predecessor "My Darling Clementine", this film uses the names of real people for its characters - the Earps, Clantons, Doc Holliday - but has virtually nothing to do with historial reality. It's a marvelous film nonetheless and entirely different in its feel and approach from "Clementine." "Gunfight" focuses on the friendship between occasional marshall Wyatt Earp and occasional gunman John Holliday (Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas), and if anything underplays the intense bond between the two men in real life. Screenwriter Leon Uris telescopes several years of events into a few months to fit the movie, and director John Sturges was never better at the pacing and staging of his story. For my money this is Kirk Douglas' greatest performance; the combination of menace and degraded dignity he gives the TB-ridden Holliday is something to see. Just as great as the performances and production work is Dimitri Tiomkin's score. It's so powerful it seems almost like another character; the same effect he achieved in "Red River" for Howard Hawks.
