The key takeaway here is the reminder of how good, how versatile Henry Fonda was as an actor. His Wyatt Earp here covers a lot of range, from calm to courtly to hardass, and all of it seems real and natural. The overall movie suffers from misplaced elements--some of the stabs at humor, including recurring jokes, feel out of place in the broad range of the plot--and that pulls the rating down, despite an otherwise satisfying Western adventure.
