| | Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957): Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Rhonda Fleming, Jo Van Fleet - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is not the weakest treatment of the Earp-Holliday story (Sturges' own 1967 remake, Hour of the Gun, is probably that), but it ought to be much better than it is, considering the budget and talent involved. |
 | | Gunfight is, more or less, the story of Kansas lawman Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) and the infamous dentist-turned-gunslinger Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas) who, along with Earp's brothers, Morgan (DeForest Kelley) and Virgil (John Hudson), shoot it out with members of the notorious Clanton Gang in the streets of Tombstone, Arizona in October of 1888. |
 | | The gunfight itself is generic at best, a duck-and-shoot affair that lasts five minutes as opposed to the open-air, 30-second face-off that actually occurred. |
