Title: <\/strong>My Darling Clementine<\/p>\n

By:<\/strong> John Ford<\/p>\n

Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s easy to see why the gunfight at the O K Corral in 1881 has acquired such mythic significance in American history. A young country lacking a mythology (or an ancient body of instructive literature) of its own found equivalents in the legends of the Old West, and the story of Wyatt Earp – a steadfast lawman who helped end the anarchic rule of the Clanton gang and brought order to the wilderness – became a perfect allegory for the growth of civilisation. The story has been dramatised many times on film, but my favourite by far is John Ford’s quasi-realistic My Darling Clementine<\/a><\/I>.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The great director claimed this movie was virtually a documentary since he had heard the full story from an ageing Wyatt Earp himself, and filmed it accordingly – but this claim needn’t be taken too seriously. My Darling Clementine<\/I> certainly is more austere than the typical Hollywood western (no small thanks to Henry Fonda’s superbly understated performance as Earp, and Ford’s refusal to strike up the drum-beats at the crucial moments). But it is a Hollywoodisation alright, and in the best sense of that word: it has a solid script, characterisations (notably Victor Mature as Doc Holliday, the gunman with a poet’s heart) and just the right amount of dramatic tension, even though a romantic subplot is slightly jarring. Thank heavens Ford didn’t really make a documentary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
