Dir: John Sturges
1957
****
A little dated maybe but then again at over 50 years old it's actually dated quite well. The ensemble cast is awesome, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas Jo Van Fleet, Lyle Bettger, DeForest Kelley, Lee Van Cleef, Dennis Hopper, the list goes on. Kirk Douglas steals the show as Doc Holliday and really opened up the character for actors like Val Kilmer & Dennis Quaid who both have done a great job in the role although I'd love to see Cesar Romero's version in the 1939 film Frontier Marshal. It's a classic western that lives up to its 'classic' status, the music is annoying but apart from that it's ace.
