Five for Fonda Film Series: My Darling Clementine

My Darling Clementine (John Ford, 1946, 35mm, 103 mins)

“One of the sweetest and most good-hearted of all Westerns” (Roger Ebert), and the favorite of Sam Peckinpah and Hayao Miyazaki. Arguably cinema’s finest retelling of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, this beguiling classic was informed by Wyatt Earp’s visits to sets when John Ford was still a prop boy on silent films. Starring Henry Fonda as Earp, Victor Mature as Doc Holliday, and Monument Valley as Tombstone, AZ. 35mm print (pre-release version) from the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
