Ford the mythmaker was at the height of his powers in 1946's My Darling Clementine, but it's a remarkably relaxed and assured piece of work.

If ever there was a gateway drug to the happy addiction of Hollywood oaters, this is it.

The film subtly complicates viewer expectations early on, eschewing clear-cut character rivalries in favor of more complex emotional and social configurations.

That the title mentions neither Earp nor the O.K. Corral is an indication of the lightness with which Clementine carries the legendary baggage of its subject matter.

My Darling Clementine must be one of the sweetest and most good-hearted of all Westerns.

Oct 16, 2015It is a welcome surprise to see a lighthearted Western that places its importance more on the characters than on the famous real gunfight depicted - and the deep-focus shots are beautiful -, but still the film has trouble with maintaining the focus and pacing in the second act.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Aug 29, 2011Although I personally prefer the awesomeness that is "Tombstone" when it comes to movies about the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the O.K. Corral, this one is still really great. Henry Fonda and Victor Mature as Doc Holliday strike all the right notes. This is making me excited about this Western class that I'm taking.Jared H Super Reviewer

Jul 03, 2010A fantastic telling of the gunfight at the OK Coral. It's brought down ever so slightly by Ford's romanticism of the genre. Too much focus on the ladies distances the characters from, what should be, their heartache. Tombstone will always be my favorite version of this story, and this hits many of the same notes. It's wonderfully shot, and unlike some early westerns, you get a real sense of heat, space, and isolation. Fonda is his typical brilliant self, carrying the film, and capturing Earp's rugged edges. It has a very clean pace, even though, what should be the main focus, is simply the interludes for the bromance/romance.Luke B Super Reviewer
