Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Stacy Keach as Doc Holliday
'Doc'
Faye Dunaway plays Kate Elder, a prostitute won by Doc Holliday in a card game, in this sort of remake of gunfight at the OK Corral (1957). Doc Holliday is played by Stacy Keach and Harris Yulin is Wyatt Earp. The film picks up the story as notorious gunfighter Doc Holliday arrives in Tombstone, Arizona to help his old mate Earp rid the town of outlaws.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Service good Bad movie
The VHS was delivered promptly and in good condition. The movie itself was not very good. Boring.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pweh!
I saw this ONCE. This film sucks, period. A waste of talent and a total distortion the real events. For a closer look at the time check out Sturges HOUR OF THE GUN and Costmatos' TOMBSTONE.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Revisionist at Tombstone
This 1971 re-telling of the Earp-Holliday relationship clearly paints the darkest picture of the Earp family yet on film, and even suggests that Wyatt may have homosexual interests in Doc Holliday. Whatever the nature of the relationship, Doc appears to want little more of it and feels trapped into his part in the famous shoot-out. At best the relationship serves the Earp family business interests with little or no reciprocal value for Holliday. Harris Yulin and Stacy Keach play Wyatt Earp and Doc ... Read More
