Marshal Wyatt Earp kills a couple of men of the Clanton gang in a fight. In revenge, Clanton's thugs kill the Marshal's brother. Thus, Wyatt starts to chase the killers together with his friend Doc Holliday.
Serious, contemplative Western is intelligently staged emphasizing the gravity and ambiguity of its revenge topic; chemistry between Garner and Robards is remarkable and, together with some beautiful cinematography, adds to the quality of this film.
Halliwell**: "Vividly set, slowly developed Western which makes an ambiguous but forceful figure of Earp. Generally confident and interesting."
Maltin**: "...begins well, becomes increasingly tedious. Robards has a good time as Doc Holliday; flavorful score by Jerry Goldsmith."
