31 Comments

Working on a different way to do an UMR Page.  Yes we will have a table….but we are looking for some additional input.  Your input will be in the page. Here is all you need to do.  Rank the Top 5 Wyatt Earps and Top 5 Doc Hollidays.  And then name the best Earp/Holliday screen team.

The Wyatt Earps:

  1. Randolph Scott in 1939’s Frontier Marshall
  2. Richard Dix in 1942’s Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die
  3. Henry Fonda in 1946’s My Darling Clementine
  4. Burt Lancaster in 1957’s Gunfight At The O.K. Corral
  5. James Garner in 1967’s Hour Of The Gun
  6. Yulin Harris in 1971’s Doc
  7. Kurt Russell in 1993’s Tombstone
  8. Kevin Costner in 1994’s Wyatt Earp

The Doc Hollidays:

  1. Cesar Romero in 1939’s Frontier Marshall
  2. Kent Taylor in 1942’s Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die
  3. Victor Mature in 1946’s My Darling Clementine
  4. Kirk Douglas in 1957’s Gunfight At The O.K. Corral
  5. Jason Robards in 1967’s Hour Of The Gun
  6. Stacy Keach in 1971’s Doc
  7. Val Kilmer in 1993’s Tombstone
  8. Dennis Quaid in 1994’s Wyatt Earp

Best Earp/Holliday Screen Team:

  1. Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero in 1939’s Frontier Marshall
  2. Richard Dix & Kent Taylor in 1942’s Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die
  3. Henry Fonda & Victor Mature in 1946’s My Darling Clementine
  4. Burt Lancaster & Kirk Douglas in 1957’s Gunfight At The O.K. Corral
  5. James Garner & Jason Robards in 1967’s Hour Of The Gun
  6. Harris Yulin & Stacy Keach in 1971’s Doc
  7. Kurt Russell & Val Kilmer in 1993’s Tombstone
  8. Kevin Costner & Dennis Quaid in 1994’s Wyatt Earp

Joel McCrea’s Wichita was not including because the movie does not take place in Tombstone…and Doc Holliday is nowhere to be found in the movie.

1934’s Frontier Marshall was not included because Wyatt Earp does not appear in the movie.  The main characters in that movie are Michael Wyatt and Doc Warren….just does not have the same ring.

  1. Kevin Costner, Fonda, Garner, Russell and Lancaster

    Kirk Douglas, Mature, Kilmer, Robards and Romero

    Best Combo – Fonda and Mature

  3. Although very inaccurate, My Darling Clementine was the best acted and photographed. So give me Henry Fonda and Victor Mature in the top spots. My next favorite Earp is James Garner in Hour of the Gun. Val Kilmer gets my runner up spot to Mature. I will take the Gunfight at the OK Corral for third place. In 4th I will take Harris Yulin in Doc. Yes the movie makes the Earps look more like bad guys but Yulin does well as Earp. My 4th Doc would be Dennis Quaid. That might be his best performance of his lengthy career. 5th through 7th is too close to call. But I will list my bottom Earps and Docs. Randolph Scott as Earp in Frontier Marshall and Kent Taylor in Tombstone-A Town To Tough To Die. Neither created an exciting movie character which always amazed me since both Doc and Wyatt are western legends. As for your current poll numbers, Tombstone is getting way too much respect. Give me Wyatt Earp anyday over that one. Only Kilmer’s performance shines.

    1. That should say “Give me the Gunfight at the OK Corral duo of Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster for third place”.

    2. Hey PhillyMan…thanks for a very detailed comment. I agree with you about Quaid in Wyatt Earp…it is a shame that his Doc came out after Val’s Doc….because it was severly overshadowed. Kent Taylor is not getting much respect here. Wow somebody that likes Wyatt Earp more than Tombstone….I respect your opinion but thinking you are in the minority there. Thanks for stopping by.

  4. Being somewhat old. I never liked the latest Earp movies. The ones that I watched in my youth are another story. Nobody played Earp better than Henry Fonda. Then give Mr Randolph Scott followed by James Garner. Then Mr. Lancaster. Last give me Kevin Costner as I liked his version more than the Russell rock video western.

    As for Doc. Mature, Robards, Romero, Douglas and Kilmer. My Darling Clementine is the best movie. Followed closely by Hour of the Gun and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

    1. Hey Simpson….thanks for the thoughts and votes. I also put Fonda as my Top Earp….looking at the final results of our poll…he got 6 1st place votes which tied him with Kurt Russell for the most 1st place votes. Your top pick of Mature did not do as well….as only two people had him in the top spot…and he ended up finishing in 5th place. Good feedback.
