The first film to combine Western mythology with the best elements of film noir: Chiarascuro lighting, morally ambiguous heroes, femme fatales and a brooding and tense atmosphere throughout. Even it's narrative leans more towards crime-drama than period film at many points. Its inherent noiriness makes it feel much more mature than most earlier Westerns, unfortunately, like most Westerns of its time, its racist and colonial attitudes towards Native-Americans brings it down a few notches.

A complete reimagining (some would say butchering) of the real OK Corral story, but the story it does tell is rich. It's a gorgeous movie and a Ford masterpiece. Apparently I care less about a movie's fidelity to real history than to comic book history.

I always think Ford lacks a certain stylistic boldness, and that holds him back in my view. However, the story here doesn't call for that, and the acting and cinematography are so great it doesn't matter. The lighting in particular is on another level.

Kurosawa once said My Darling Clementine is a template for what films can be - and it's hard to disagree with the sensei. Bridges myth and history, allegory and humanity, in a way only the great foundational fables can. Intervening years of romanticism and cynicism have not diluted its power in the slightest.

My Darling Clementine is a product of its time in that it's incredibly dated in style and the finale feels rushed and confused but thanks to excellent performances from Fonda, Brennan and Mature and patient direction and pacing of John Ford it really is a quite enjoyable slow burner.

A more faithful re-telling of these events would have been welcome, since the film lacks energy as a result of its forced romances and shortage of villains. Fonda and Mature are perfectly watchable but not entirely convincing as the iconic duo, with only Brennan feeling entirely suited to his role. Still, it's largely enjoyable, ending with a fine showdown, but the real triumph is the supremely impressive framing and camerawork.

Viewed July 17, 2015. A masterpiece of pacing and tone, the film uses one of the definitive stories of the Wild West as a springboard for a meditative film about love, revenge and the morality of the Old West. It's a work of aching beauty, mournful and nostalgic, but also strikingly contemplative. The key image of the film has got to be Henry Fonda leaning back in his chair, the entire town spanning out in front of him.

I went looking for, and found, a queer theory reading of this film. Corey K. Creekmur writes, "in a bar full of men, Wyatt Earp cruises Doc Holliday, who responds by buying him a glass of champagne and then asking him out on a date". I think this film is so revered because it is the prototypical representation of the Western genre: an ultra masculine hero battles against all other identities, and only finds solace in another macho macho man.

Marks the shift from studio aesthetics to a more neo-realist style in westerns, at least for me... A slower attitude than the majority of the action-based westerns which opens space for dramatic build-up of ambivalent father-son relation bewteen Doc and Wyatt Earp. And unfortunately as a misogynistic attitude the "cheap girl" Chihuahua is punished for her "vice" but Valentine is rewarded for her "virtue", representing the civilization.

Ford's classic take on Wyatt Earp and the shoot out at the OK Corral may lack historical accuracy, but it's still the best film made about the subject by a considerable margin. Fonda is great as the surprisingly awkward and laconic Earp, and Mature impresses as the charismatic and reckless Holliday, yet it's Ford's moody and quasi-poetic imagery that transforms this elegant reconstruction of a famous historical event into a piece of mythic cinema.
