My Darling Clementine + Frontier Marshall Blu Ray

Wyatt Earp has long fascinated filmmakers. Actors from Burt Lancaster and James Stewart to Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner have played the legendary gunfighter but no portrayal is more definitive that Henry Fonda’s in My Darling Clementine. John Ford’s first Western since his seminal Stagecoach My Darling Clementine ranks among the director’s finest. Telling the story of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and the friendship between Earp and Doc Holliday Ford renders this famous tale into a lyrical masterpiece filmed in his beloved Monument Valley... and full of iconic moments. This limited edition contains two versions of the Western classic – the version that premiered in cinemas in December 1946 and the longer ‘pre-release’ cut that had played to preview audiences earlier that year – as well as another Wyatt Earp movie from 20th Century Fox Allan Dwan’s Frontier Marshal starring Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero.
