My Darling Clementine (1946; Dir.: John Ford)
Canon Fodder Episode 46
Daniel and Corky rustle up a mess of vittles and head to the “rough-looking country” of Tombstone to review this masterful western, arguably the least factual yet most definitive take on the Wyatt Earp/OK Corral legend. But did your hosts feel that this Ford kicked like a Mustang or creaked like a Model T?
