Review of Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) by Adam Z — 24 Aug 2007

Contains everything you think you want from a western, and loads more besides. The central performances are electric, especially Kirk Douglas who owns the screen everytime he appears, and together with Burt Lancaster they create an on-screen friendship which is hard to fault.

It does get a bit buddy movie at times, but this is a minor niggle. A glorious story about loyalty and trust in Tombstone, with a tight script and some of the best cinematogrpahy ever seen on the silver screen.
