Being a big time fan of Randolph Scott for several decades, I remember watching this one, but just barely; it was so long ago. Certainly enjoyed being able to see it again. Thanks 🙏🏽
I grew up on these wonderful westerns. They made made me happy and adventurous. Caesar Romero was the smoothest and best looking dude in the movies back then - not to mention one of the best actors by far. These old classics were so well crafted and realistic that special effects were unnecessary. They were literally spellbinding and there was virtually no such thing as a "flop". ALL those old black and whites were literally works of art created by true Masters of the craft. 🙂
Thanks for putting this on. Great movie everyone should see. Ward Bond also one of my all time favorites. Cesar Romaero.....All these guys young....so great to see.
Great western Randolph Scott is a real gentleman, from virginia, he made a lot of great films with tyrone power, and errol flynn, thanks lord Rob Word of Word on Westerns laird of Word manor your friend tom now and always 😊😊😊
My Dad and Mum got married in 1939 I think every movie about true life characters is opened to criticism why not just enjoy the movie for what it is great cast and story you could pick any movie to PIECES so either watch it or leave it thank you Rob for all your great movies and your excellent presentation s many thanks for your shows Aussie down under a real fan of yours ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love his movies one of the best cowboy. To this day I’m watching his western show. Good job Rob. I even went to Georgia tech here in Atlanta for while where Scott went.
Discovered Randolph Scott about 5 years ago. Really like his movies. I liked that a lot of them were shot in color. I love black and white but really old movies shot in technicolor like Jessie James (1939) with Tyrone Power are a lot of fun. I haven't seen this one yet but my favorite version of this story (so far) is My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda. Thanks for posting! (nice job on the up-convert ; )
When I want to see a good movie, I can always count on Randolph Scott as the star. Vincent Price was another great actor. Thank you for sharing this 'golden oldy'.
Great movie 🎬 enjoyed Cesar Ramaro and the bartender " Chris " . Excellent character selections for The Cisco Kid involved in this. How the western character actors all worked in twined with the movie industry. Thank you Rob word ☺️
I have always loved Randolph Scott and Ward Bond. I think that Gunfight at the O. K. Corral, with Burt Lancaster and John Ireland and Olive Carey and Kirk Douglas is very very good.
Good ol' Eddie Foyle Jr. was just like his pa, and fantastic reinacting in this 1st Wyatt Earp film. Thanks for keeping memories of our best actors and supporters active and alive. 👍👍 100💖 10🌟🇺🇸
One of my favorite Randolph Scott movies. Love this one and My Darling Clementine. Rob you said there were similarities. Another film I love is Powder River of course with Rory Calhoun. It's so similar to both of the Earp films it's a wonder they didn't get copywrite troubles. But thanks for putting it out, once again!! I've watched this on every channel that will put it out!! Just to give more thumbs ups!!
@@AWordonWesterns Oh no no no sir, THANK YOU! I wouldn't be who I am today without my parents, John Wayne, and the greatest genre ever put on celluloid!!
@@AWordonWesterns These movies are my life line to not getting into politics or down some silly rabbit hole. I have my two USN veteran parents to that for that! Dad loved all the genre. Including Spaghetti westerns. Personally they are hard for me to watch or like. I really do not get, how good ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, is so good or a step above or why it's so liked!? Like the actors but never liked the genre at all. What's your thoughts on those, "westerns"?
on a book on john ford,he screened FRONTIER MARSHALL 1939,while was preparing MY DARLING CLEMINTINE in 1945.you notice at the beginning john carradine says he got run out of lordsburg.in STAGECOACH 1939,he was going to lordsburg.charles stevens who plays indian charlie,plays the same role in MY DARLING CLEMINTINE 1946.
Kilmer was the best. Should have and still gotten best actor honors for his role. The Academy Should go back and correct many of their over sights and mistakes.
I think you forgot to mention the James Garner version of Wyatt Earp.. it was ok but I do love this version, Randolph Scott was one of the best Western stars that make any western top notch. Thanks for letting us watch
Thanx for showing this great vintage western. Its not histirically accurate,nonetheless its a great film. For accuracy,as well as my all time favorite Wyatt Earp movie, Ill watch Tombstone with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer.
“Frontier Marshal” told a fictionalized version of the OK corral but it is a highly satisfactory movie because every person was given justice according to what he actually did in history. The actors were great! Hollywood spent the Great Depression era money carefully and worked diligently to spare the feelings of the relatives of the people in Tombstone.
I enjoy each version of the Wyatt and Doc Holiday movies. Dennis Quaid was such a a great Doc Holiday, he nailed that role, a tight tie with everyone's favorite: Val Kilmer gave us a delicious Doc who did a winning performance of Doc, as well, and then there's: Stacy Keech, who gave a depth to the role that deserves remembering, as well. The subject has given us so many great Westerns, I never tire of them. ☀️ I prefer this movie to the Fonda/Mature version, although I enjoy it too.
Since I was born in 1939 and love Randolph Scott, this movie really got my attention. I'm curious to see what kind of Doc Holiday Cesar Romero will make. More after the movie...
I never saw Cesar Romero so young. I hardly recognized him. I also learned the spelling of Doc's last name is Halliday, not Holiday. Randolph Scott never made a bad movie. Great movie.
I really love the old movies. B&W movies are great! So up until now I've stuck to my guns so to speak that IMHO the best Doc Holiday (Haliday) is Val Kilmer with the great Southern style drawl and one liners he did in the Wyatt Earp Movie in the 1990's called Tombstone. (I know it's not an old B&W movie but it doesn't matter to me what era just what performance and character}. BUT Once I see this one I just might change my mind. We'll see.
A thought crossed my mind that Keanu Reeves as Wyatt and Johnny Depp as Doc would be a good start to a fresh take on the O.K. Corral story. I'd pay to see that. We're big fans of Rob and a Word on Westerns out here, always a good show. Grateful for your efforts on the best true western channel, Mr. Word !
It's been a while since I've seen this one, but it's a neat one still. Funny how Hollywood Westerns always change the story lines and almost nothing is really the Truth ! Historic True Westerns are not a big box office draw, people don't spend a lot of money on how it actually was. Still, it's neat to see these old one's we all grew up with, Thanks Rob !
Is anyone else noticing that the Comments program often doesn't work during live events? I saw Rob's comment, to me, about going to Lone Star tonight. And i saw my comment about snow in New Hampshire. But both showed up only for a second and disappeared. They are both gone from the scroll, as if they aren't there or were never there. UA-cam technology has some bugs.
A good movie with another version of how Marshal Wyatt Earp and Doc Halliday befriend to each other and fight together to get rid of the outlaws in Tombstone.
Eddie Foy Jr. plays the part of his father, Eddie Foy, as he does again in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and Wilson (1944). Eddie Foy originally met Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp and William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson in Dodge City, KS, when he first started touring. It is rumored that he was in Tombstone performing at the time of the OK Corral shootout. The production put a million tons of sand on the back lot to make it like the desert. Many wagon-loads came up from the beach and filled the place with sand for over half a mile wide.
Boy I've seen some fictionalized Wyatt Earp movies before, like Gunfight at the OK Corral with Burt Lancaster, My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda, Hour of the Gun with James Garner. But I believe that this one takes the cake. This one didn't even try to find out what the history was or anything about it. The only names they used that were real were Wyatt Earp and Doc HAliday. And then they got Doc's last name wrong. I have no idea why. It wasn't until Kevin Costner and Kurt Russel came along that anyone ever really tried to write the true story and I understand that some of the things in those movies were wrong. But they tried. This one didn't even try. But it was still a good movie if you are not a history purist. Just good Western fun. Good movie, just not historically.
In other ' Gun fight at O.K. Corral ' episodes Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday , Wyatt's two brothers together fought the Cowboys . Holliday didn't die there.He died much later.
Randolph scott is older than John wayne and Gary cooper. in ww1 He served in France as an artillery observer and earned promotion to corporal in October 1917 and sergeant in February 1918.
Well, you say the movie was based on Stuart N Lake's Book "Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshall" published in 1931. That's very interesting to me as I have a book by the same author titled "He Carried a Six Shooter" published in 1952, 2nd impression 1953 by Lowe and Brydone London. It has an acknowledgment to "Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp who Lived and Relived this Book". I think it must be a reprint of the original 1931 edition retitled for British readers. To me, a very good biography of the Man and Legend and incredible lives of the Earp brothers living in an incredible time of the USA's wild west frontier.
Yes, it is, Richard. Twentieth Century Fox, who owned the rights to Lake's biography on Earp, reused it as the basis for POWDER RIVER. They changed all of the names but, you're correct, it's still the Earp/Clanton confrontation and is very entertaining.
Too bad such a great actor as Randolph Scott would have been a part to this madness other falsehood ending I can't believe I'm the only one that felt this way
In @1999 I saw a restored Randolph Scott western in the theater where, in the begging of the movie he chases down 3 bad guys. Can't seem to find that 1 on the YT; please identify for me that movie.
History 101: Correction, Doc Holliday wasn't shot in front of a saloon, Doc fought in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona on October 26, 1881. Holliday was a good dear friend of Wyatt Earp,
In the opening scene of this 1939 movie, John Carradine comments that he was just run out of the town of Lordsburg. In the 1939 movie STAGECOACH, he's on a stagecoach going to Lordsburg. Ha. Was OK until the bar scene with Doc showing his obvious 4 3/4" Colt SAA that he says was cut down to a 2" barrel from a long barrel Buntline Special for which there are no records that Colt ever produced prior to 1956. After that it was fast forward to the ending and silly shootout.
Hello. You say that this movie was the "very first authorized film about Wyatt Earp... What does this mean? The 1934 version also gave writing credits to Stuart N. Lake's novel.
Hi, Stube. The 1932 film, "Law and Order," starred Walter Huston as a thinly veiled Wyatt Earp and was based on a novel by W.R. Burnett with a script by a young John Huston. No credit was given to the Lake biography. The names were probably changed to keep from being sued by Earp's widow. The first authorized film to use the name Wyatt Earp and give credit to Lake's book was the one we presented called "Frontier Marshall" in 1939. You are correct that the 1934 George O'Brien film also used the biography as a credited source, but for some reason, did not use the actual names of Wyatt, Doc, Clantons, etc. As I said, it was also the basis for the John Ford version. Both of them filled with inaccuracies but I find both of them very entertaining. Another interesting version inspired by the biography is "Powder River" from 1953 with Rory Calhoun as a Wyatt like character. Lake's source material is also credited in that version. Thanks for the info.
I have seen this before. It is a fun movie. It is not historically accurate which I would prefer, but is a good movie. Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero are good. Nancy Kelly and Binnie Barnes are beautiful. The supporting cast was great. To me the most dramatic part was the operation on little Pablo. Eddie Foy Jr was fun comic relief. (Did he have a whole career playing his father?) I notice that you mention several of the films about the gunfight at the O. K. Corral, but that you overlooked "Doc" with Stacy Keach.
Being a big time fan of Randolph Scott for several decades, I remember watching this one, but just barely; it was so long ago. Certainly enjoyed being able to see it again. Thanks 🙏🏽
I grew up on these wonderful westerns. They made made me happy and adventurous. Caesar Romero was the smoothest and best looking dude in the movies back then - not to mention one of the best actors by far. These old classics were so well crafted and realistic that special effects were unnecessary. They were literally spellbinding and there was virtually no such thing as a "flop". ALL those old black and whites were literally works of art created by true Masters of the craft. 🙂
ROGERS + WAYNE + AUTRY + SCOTT + MOST ALL 1940~90s WESTERN MOVIES Have Seen Forever.! TEXANS STAYS ON Many Western Country Avenues .....
Caesar Romero was also a very slick dancer.
Note: "Cesar"
A "Latin from Manhattan" not from imperial Rome.

Good movie. Thanks Rob 👍 hooked on westerns for years ❤
1939 What a great year for movies 😊

For a film made in 1939 it has aged well. Unlike many of the cheaper productions from the 30's and 40's this one is clearly a cut above the rest

I really love the old movies. B&W movies are great!

Ergreifend und auch ein wenig Tränendrüsen drückend.
Very entertaining! Like you said the time flew!
And, I never went for the idea that Mature was too healthy to play Doc. That's what actors do,make you suspend disbelief.
In the thirty's most Western were filmed in Lone Pine John Wayne had a master suite t one of the motels.
This was so good, everything a western should be, some violence, some niceness and just a hint of romance
Excellent movie. Love and greetings from Germany.

I believe that they used "Doc Halliday" instead of "Doc Holliday" because of threats of a lawsuit from Holliday's family if his name was used .

Eddie Foy Jr. plays the part of his father, Eddie Foy, as he does again in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and Wilson (1944).
Eddie Foy originally met Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp and William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson in Dodge City, KS, when he first started touring. It is rumored that he was in Tombstone performing at the time of the OK Corral shootout.

I just found it on Prime. Gonna watch it tonight.
The best Doc holiday was Val Kilmer
Can't argue there.
By far TOMBSTONE is the very best of Wyatt Earpp and Doc Holiday! Val Kilmer by far the best Doc Holiday!
This movie was in 1939 , Val Kilmer was born.
🌵the lizard🦎king🔥🎶
In other ' Gun fight at O.K. Corral ' episodes Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday , Wyatt's two brothers together fought the Cowboys . Holliday didn't die there.He died much later.
Val was the best Doc there was I really like watching any movie with him in it
Enjoyed ,second time round ,
Thanks again!
Randolph scott is older than John wayne and Gary cooper. in ww1 He served in France as an artillery observer and earned promotion to corporal in October 1917 and sergeant in February 1918.
Well, you say the movie was based on Stuart N Lake's Book "Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshall" published in 1931. That's very interesting to me as I have a book by the same author titled "He Carried a Six Shooter" published in 1952, 2nd impression 1953 by Lowe and Brydone London. It has an acknowledgment to "Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp who Lived and Relived this Book".
I think it must be a reprint of the original 1931 edition retitled for British readers.
To me, a very good biography of the Man and Legend and incredible lives of the Earp brothers living in an incredible time of the USA's wild west frontier.
Thank you ...😊
Carradine was always great
Powder Rive is another movie like this one
Yes, it is, Richard. Twentieth Century Fox, who owned the rights to Lake's biography on Earp, reused it as the basis for POWDER RIVER. They changed all of the names but, you're correct, it's still the Earp/Clanton confrontation and is very entertaining.
Since Blazing Saddles introduced Randolph Scott he's been an icon!
Boy,
It's been a long time, sum 65 years.
Too bad such a great actor as Randolph Scott would have been a part to this madness other falsehood ending I can't believe I'm the only one that felt this way
You should show-case the leading ladies too sir.
They often kept the storyline from being lost.
Thanks. Am planning a month of Friday movies featuring the Women of the West.
Vintage Western
In @1999 I saw a restored Randolph Scott western in the theater where, in the begging of the movie he chases down 3 bad guys. Can't seem to find that 1 on the YT; please identify for me that movie.
Caesar Romeo was also played the Joker in Batman, The Television Series (1966-68).
The far side and the gun fight at the okie dokie coral.
History 101: Correction, Doc Holliday wasn't shot in front of a saloon, Doc fought in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona on October 26, 1881. Holliday was a good dear friend of Wyatt Earp,
In the opening scene of this 1939 movie, John Carradine comments that he was just run out of the town of Lordsburg. In the 1939 movie STAGECOACH, he's on a stagecoach going to Lordsburg. Ha. Was OK until the bar scene with Doc showing his obvious 4 3/4" Colt SAA that he says was cut down to a 2" barrel from a long barrel Buntline Special for which there are no records that Colt ever produced prior to 1956. After that it was fast forward to the ending and silly shootout.
I suspect it has been restored to amazing black and white.
Hello. You say that this movie was the "very first authorized film about Wyatt Earp... What does this mean? The 1934 version also gave writing credits to Stuart N. Lake's novel.
Hi, Stube. The 1932 film, "Law and Order," starred Walter Huston as a thinly veiled Wyatt Earp and was based on a novel by W.R. Burnett with a script by a young John Huston. No credit was given to the Lake biography. The names were probably changed to keep from being sued by Earp's widow. The first authorized film to use the name Wyatt Earp and give credit to Lake's book was the one we presented called "Frontier Marshall" in 1939. You are correct that the 1934 George O'Brien film also used the biography as a credited source, but for some reason, did not use the actual names of Wyatt, Doc, Clantons, etc. As I said, it was also the basis for the John Ford version. Both of them filled with inaccuracies but I find both of them very entertaining. Another interesting version inspired by the biography is "Powder River" from 1953 with Rory Calhoun as a Wyatt like character. Lake's source material is also credited in that version. Thanks for the info.
I have seen this before. It is a fun movie. It is not historically accurate which I would prefer, but is a good movie. Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero are good. Nancy Kelly and Binnie Barnes are beautiful. The supporting cast was great. To me the most dramatic part was the operation on little Pablo. Eddie Foy Jr was fun comic relief. (Did he have a whole career playing his father?) I notice that you mention several of the films about the gunfight at the O. K. Corral, but that you overlooked "Doc" with Stacy Keach.
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
BURT LANCASTER also played WYATT EARP and KIRK DOUGLAS played DOC HOLLIDAY.
