blue_lotus13My Darling Clementine is a 1946 Western by John Ford. It's an extremely iconic and archetypal Western and I was surprised by how many things I'd heard of that appear in this film. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, the OK Corral, the town of Tombstone...- they're all from this movie. The story of the fight at the OK Corral between the Earp brothers and the Clanton brothers is apparently a true story.
It was an okay film, but I couldn't really get into it. I was most fascinated by Doc Holliday and his love affair with his lady and how his wife was pretty much abandoned.
I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't been sick.
I also watched "O, Brother where art thou?", "Bottle Shock" and "Waltz with Bashir" during my convalescence.
