 I had not seen this film since its' initial release. I recall not caring to much for it and preferring Tombstone. Watched it recently and have a new appreciation for it. The characters are gritty and more realistically drawn and the the film is more true to life. Tombstone, by comparison, is more pulp or cartoonish. I loved Val Kilmer's performance in Tombstone but Wyatt Earp as much to offer. Either that or I've just changed over the last couple of decades. :-)

 It's the best western ever made and a great American movie.

 "Gunfight at the OK Corrall" 1958, with Kirk Douglas,Burt Lancaster & Rhonda Flemming. I had never thought to compare the 1994 "Wyatt Earp" movie with Costner & Quaid to the 1958 movie. Instead I had compared it to the previously released Tombstone movie with Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer & Sam Elliot.

Which reminds me, the 1958 movie was played on TCM the other night and I recorded it to the DVR while doing other stuff. Maybe I'll put that on. I suspect it will let me down.

Back in '94 I kind of remember thinking that I liked the '93 Tombstone movie a tad bit better than "Wyatt Earp". But that may have been simply because I'd already had enough Wyatt Earp for a while. What was up with the timing on the release of those two movies?

 I suspect you will be disappointed in the 1958 film. I enjoy Tombstone but have new respect for Wyatt Earp.

 It's an American 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

The last great epic western.
