	GREGG TOLAND
		Toland was always in the forefront of those anxious to try the new and adapt it to their needs, and he introduced lens and lighting modifications that strongly influenced his colleagues.
		Toland told Ford of his desire to achieve a quality of realism that was lacking in the prevailing styles of cinematography; very deep, sharply limned images, he believed, would more nearly approximate what the eye sees in real life than the shallower, shifting focus normally used.
		Toland was opposed to Dunn's suggestion of using opticals, stating coldly, "I don't want dupes in my picture." This feeling was shared by most cinematographers because the duping stocks of that time tended to produce markedly inferior images to those on the camera negative.

		By no means as bad as its detractors would have it, it remains a fascinating (if minor) Western with a determinedly offbeat story about Doc Holliday, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid coming to conflict over Holliday's stolen horse and half-breed Russell.
		Jules Furthman's script is often disarmingly tongue-in-cheek, Gregg Toland's photography is characteristically ravishing, and there is a quirky eroticism to the proceedings, manifest in Russell's performance and in some surprising undertones suggesting homosexuality.
