If ever there was a gateway drug to the happy addiction of Hollywood oaters, this is it.
My Darling Clementine must be one of the sweetest and most good-hearted of all Westerns.
Slow-paced tale of Old West shootout has violence.
If less than its outsized reputation, this Western is still a fun view, particularly in Joe MacDonald's austere camerawork in Monument Valley.
Simple in its storytelling while transcendent as a poem of rhythms, bonds and values.
generally considered the Wyatt Earp film against which all others are judged
Audience Reviews for My Darling Clementine
Built by Ford, John Ford, with part mythos about the gunfight at the OK Corral, part nostalgia for the generation this film was intended signified by the use of the song of the title, and part myth building for what they wanted to become. I googled the town of Tombstone, AZ and Monument Valley and they're miles apart and yet in Ford's vision they're virtual neighbors. This is perfect filmmaking for projecting what its intended audience wanted to see, a mirror reflection of their loves, and indeed beautiful to behold.
Super Reviewer
It 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.
Super Reviewer
Fonda is fantastic as Wyatt Earp and featuring Walter Brennan's most sinister performance.
