My Darling Clementine

Director: John Ford

1946 / 97min / DCP

One of maestro Ford’s most beloved Westerns and the definitive screen depiction of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral stars Henry Fonda as shy, lanky lawman Wyatt Earp, a delightfully plummy Victor Mature as a Shakespeare-quoting, tubercular Doc Holliday, and Cathy Downs as Clementine, the well-bred girl from Back East who tempts the wandering Earp with the possibility of settlin’ down in Tombstone. “One of the sweetest and most good-hearted of all Westerns,” per Roger Ebert, and a favorite of such disparate figures as Sam Peckinpah and Hayao Miyazaki.
