Format:DVD
Gunfight at OK Corral Entertaining if not misleading version of the frendship between Wyatt Earp(Burt Lancaster)and Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas)and the events leading up to the gunbattle between the Earps,Holliday and the Clantons and Mclorys at the Ok Corral in Tombstone.This is Kirk Douglas,s picture as the character of Doc Holliday is always the most fascinating,and Kirk Douglas carries it off well,Holliday was an extremely ill man suffering from Tuberculosis,and he lived a very fast and percarious existance being a gunman and gambler
Wyatt Earp on the other hand was a gambler and lawman and this version of the story made in 1956 was typical of the trate of avoiding the unpleasant truths about the characters and making a movie that was in colour,which Gunfight at the OK Corral is and is well photographed has an excellant musical soundtrack theme sung by the great Frankie Laine,and was good viewing for all age groups,if you like vintage westerns you,ll love Gunfight buy it and enjoy you wont be disappointed

Format:DVD
Two of Hollywood's greats in this classic movie. Timeless and hugely enjoyable - they don't act like this anymore. This is a movie you can watch time and time again, if you like westerns, that is.

Format:DVD
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!

Classic western but it has been cut.
Just a quick note, Amazon advises this film is 122 min. long but the version of the film on this dvd has been cut to 117 mins. 122 minutes is the original length of the film. Read more

Age has still not destroyed the quaint charm of this film
It's funny to see a standard cow-boy western film of the generation before the spaghetti western. OK Coral is just that. It is good and bad at the same time. Read more

A Terrific Western
I love a good western and this is up with the top ones. I replaced my old VHS with this DVD. Burt and Kirk seem even better.
