I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Saw this for the 1st time today. Seeing "Tombstone" & now this...Doc shot "Ringo" at the OK Corral. In "Tombstone" Doc shot Ringo in some forest somewhere. Also in "Doc" Morgan is dead at OK Corral. In "Tombstone" Morgan is wounded at OK Corral. And my biggest question is this ... Big Nose Kates last name is "Elder". Any relation to that great Western..."The Sons Of Katie Elder" ??? What's going on in Western history ??? I had no clue Kate's last name was "Elder" in "Doc" until near the end. " " Sons of Katie Elder" with John Wayne, Dean Martin, Earl Holliman...etc was one of my favorite movies growing up. How many "Katie Elders" could there be back in the old West ???

This is a very strange film. We have the impression that the mix of characters is not plausible. Katie Elder and Doc Holliday? And a Wyatt Earp (character and actor) mediocre as this? Doc seems to be a character very close to reality, but Katie Elder had lived with him in Tombstone? The screenplay was awarded and must surely have been no previous research on its accuracy but we see Wyatt Earp does not store any resemblance to what we were shown today. In short: the secondary actors are not bad and the script gives us confidence that has real historical background. Saves only the competent Stacy Keach and Faye Dunaway. The rest is just the rest.

Dentist, gambler, and gun man this is the story of Doc Holiday and the gunfight in Tombstone, AZ. Stacy Keach does a good job in brining the historical character to life, and the movie does show him suffering from consumption (which is what he eventually died from). Faye Dunaway does an good job in bringing Kate Elder to life as Doc's lover. The movie does take some liberties though in the Kate knew and was a companion of John Holiday long before they arrived in Tombstone.The main downfall of the movie is its some what slow pace, and glaring inaccuracies of the actual gunfight. For this reason I have down graded the movie.Grade C

Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday did go to Tombstone to get rich, but this film badly represents the "truth". This is typical of the time (Vietnam era) where law enforcement,traditions, and America were questioned and debunked whenever possible. Liberalism at it's finest.This film may have been thought-provoking (although inaccurate) for it's time, but we've grown up from those days, as we did from the overly-romaticized days that produced "My Darling Clementine" and "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Those films were polar opposites of this one, and both were inaccurate. The best film of the Vietnam era on this subject was "Hour of the Gun" made 4 years prior to this one.Add that to "Tombstone" and Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp" as perhaps the most close to accurate on this subject as Hollywood will come.
