Wyatt Earp FRONTIER MARSHAL 1939 Randolph Scott as Wyatt! Cesar Romero as Doc! FREE Western Classic
Ойын-сауық
FRONTIER MARSHAL, the first authorized film version of Wyatt Earp, and the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral, stars Randolph Scott as Wyatt Earp and Cesar Romero as Doc Holliday.
The 1939 western movie is based on Stuart N. Lake’s book, WYATT EARP, FRONTIER MARSHAL, published in 1931. Lake had spent time interviewing Earp, and his book created the legend that we know today. Not only was Lake's biography the basis for FRONTIER MARSHAL (1939) starring Randolph Scott, but the book has also been used for subsequent films about the peacemaker, including John Ford’s remake, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (1946), and later GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL (1957), TOMBSTONE (1993), WYATT EARP (1994) and the Hugh O’Brian TV series, THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF WYATT EARP, done in 1955, which had the still living Stuart Lake as a consultant.
Randolph Scott makes a pretty good Wyatt, and there are those who think that Cesar Romero’s Doc (“Halliday” in this film, and a surgeon, not a dentist?) was even better than Victor Mature in MY DARLING CLEMENTINE. I always find it interesting to compare remakes, and the Ford/Dwan comparison is a doozy. At 71 minutes, FRONTIER MARSHAL moves right along as director Allan Dwan was not given the running time, or budget, that Ford was able to spend on atmosphere, locations, and deeper characterizations.
Actor Ward Bond is in both versions. In FRONTIER MARSHAL and, seven years later, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE. Bond is the ineffective town Marshal in this one and Morgan Earp in the later version, which delves more deeply into family bonds and the rivalry between the Earps and Clantons. Actor Charlie Stevens, falsely publicized for years as the grandson of Geronimo, has the role of “Indian Charley” in both versions and in RKO’s “Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die.” I can’t deny that Ford was very influenced by this film. It has many of the same inaccuracies.
The rest of the cast lifts this version to A-movie status, even without the magnificent Monument Valley landscape. Binnie Barnes is Doc’s prostitute girlfriend and much less childish than Linda Darnell was in the Ford version. Alan Mowbray’s Shakespearean actor is missing, but instead, we have Eddie Foy Jr. portraying his real-life father as a traveling entertainer and Nancy Kelly as Sarah Allen.
The trio of bad guys in FRONTIER MARSHALL are a special gang of villains. There's John Carradine who runs things as a saloon owner, Lon Chaney, Jr. who has a run-in with Doc, and Joe Sawyer as Curly Bill. You’ll spot a familiar array of western veterans like Chris-Pin Martin (who had been Cisco Kid’s sidekick to Cesar Romero’s Cisco), Richard Alexander, Edward Norris, Hank Bell, Si Jenks, and former B western leading man Tom Tyler.
While most of the film takes place in the town of Tombstone, at night, there are several sequences shot at…you guessed it, the Alabama Hills of Lone Pine, CA.
In 1931 a film based on a fictional novel about Earp’s exploits by W.R. Burnett, with a script by a young John Huston, was made starring Walter Huston and Harry Carey Sr called LAW AND ORDER. However, that film did not use the Earp or Holiday name, which makes FRONTIER MARSHAL the first to showcase their fame. There is action and quite a few laughs in store for you. There have been many variations on film of Wyatt Earp and let’s hope there will be more quality movies depicting his exploits in years to come. Enjoy FRONTIER MARSHAL. Thanks for watching.

I grew up on these wonderful westerns. They made made me happy and adventurous. Caesar Romero was the smoothest and best looking dude in the movies back then - not to mention one of the best actors by far. These old classics were so well crafted and realistic that special effects were unnecessary. They were literally spellbinding and there was virtually no such thing as a "flop". ALL those old black and whites were literally works of art created by true Masters of the craft. 🙂

That is a great story of Doc and Wyatt. Randolph was so young.
Discovered Randolph Scott about 5 years ago. Really like his movies. I liked that a lot of them were shot in color. I love black and white but really old movies shot in technicolor like Jessie James (1939) with Tyrone Power are a lot of fun. I haven't seen this one yet but my favorite version of this story (so far) is My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda. Thanks for posting! (nice job on the up-convert ; )

Beautiful print! You must have restored an old print. Randolph would have loved it! Thanks!
on a book on john ford,he screened FRONTIER MARSHALL 1939,while was preparing MY DARLING CLEMINTINE in 1945.you notice at the beginning john carradine says he got run out of lordsburg.in STAGECOACH 1939,he was going to lordsburg.charles stevens who plays indian charlie,plays the same role in MY DARLING CLEMINTINE 1946.
1939 What a great year for movies 😊
Great to watch the restored version. Scott and Romero were both fine actors.
Love his movies one of the best cowboy. To this day I’m watching his western show. Good job Rob. I even went to Georgia tech here in Atlanta for while where Scott went.

I have always loved Randolph Scott and Ward Bond. I think that Gunfight at the O. K. Corral, with Burt Lancaster and John Ireland and Olive Carey and Kirk Douglas is very very good.

One of my favorite Randolph Scott movies. Love this one and My Darling Clementine. Rob you said there were similarities. Another film I love is Powder River of course with Rory Calhoun. It's so similar to both of the Earp films it's a wonder they didn't get copywrite troubles. But thanks for putting it out, once again!! I've watched this on every channel that will put it out!!

Glad you enjoyed it.
“Frontier Marshal” told a fictionalized version of the OK corral but it is a highly satisfactory movie because every person was given justice according to what he actually did in history. The actors were great! Hollywood spent the Great Depression era money carefully and worked diligently to spare the feelings of the relatives of the people in Tombstone.
I think you forgot to mention the James Garner version of Wyatt Earp.. it was ok but I do love this version, Randolph Scott was one of the best Western stars that make any western top notch. Thanks for letting us watch

A thought crossed my mind that Keanu Reeves as Wyatt and Johnny Depp as Doc would be a good start to a fresh take on the O.K. Corral story. I'd pay to see that.

In the thirty's most Western were filmed in Lone Pine John Wayne had a master suite t one of the motels.

I believe that they used "Doc Halliday" instead of "Doc Holliday" because of threats of a lawsuit from Holliday's family if his name was used .

I have seen this before. It is a fun movie. It is not historically accurate which I would prefer, but is a good movie. Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero are good. Nancy Kelly and Binnie Barnes are beautiful. The supporting cast was great. To me the most dramatic part was the operation on little Pablo. Eddie Foy Jr was fun comic relief. (Did he have a whole career playing his father?) I notice that you mention several of the films about the gunfight at the O. K. Corral, but that you overlooked "Doc" with Stacy Keach.
Too bad such a great actor as Randolph Scott would have been a part to this madness other falsehood ending I can't believe I'm the only one that felt this way
CHARLIE STEVENS IS THE GRANSON OF GERONOMO :) SUPER COOL
Boy I've seen some fictionalized Wyatt Earp movies before, like Gunfight at the OK Corral with Burt Lancaster, My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda, Hour of the Gun with James Garner. But I believe that this one takes the cake. This one didn't even try to find out what the history was or anything about it. The only names they used that were real were Wyatt Earp and Doc HAliday. And then they got Doc's last name wrong. I have no idea why. It wasn't until Kevin Costner and Kurt Russel came along that anyone ever really tried to write the true story and I understand that some of the things in those movies were wrong. But they tried. This one didn't even try. But it was still a good movie if you are not a history purist. Just good Western fun. Good movie, just not historically.

Great movie. I loved it. I like Clementine better for one reason. Maybe 2 reasons, it's more historically, correct and doc holiday. Operation triquita Linda Darnell, who dies, which is direct result of going to a dentist with a bullet wound.

The Unvercity of Arizona's History Department after Stuart Lake died called his Wyatt Earp approved bio a Tall Tale & sold to the students Josie's account as true. In 1999 U. of A. had to change their tune when threatened with a lawsuit because the Earp Family still had all Virgil's & the Sisters & Relatives letters. They still refuse to acknowlege Lakes version as Fact. I spent a month reading Wyatt Earp Fountier Marshal & Fact Checking all the stories & even though Lake was enamored by Wyatt Earp I couldn't find a lie in it.. Virgil first went to Prescott as an Undercover U.S. Marshal to break up a Gang there & I suspect Wyatt did the same although he was a buinessman too, so that part is hard to say. If someone would research the U.S. Marshall archieves hard telling what we would learn..
You know in all these movies someone always gets wounded and whoever is attending says get me plenty of hot water, but I never see anyone use it duh
"My Darling Clementine", is another fun film, if you can ignore the fact that the story has no basis in fact, and history has been totally obliterated. Henry Fonda was such a fine actor, and was really good in that, he deserved better than that mash-up of history, just as R. Scott and C. Romero deserved better than this mess.
I mean, "Lone Pine..."
Powder River seams to be almost the same story , I like Rory Calhoun , but this is a better version
Hi in order : Tombstone , My Darling Clementine , Frontier Marshal . . As for Doc Holiday : Val Kilmer , Victor Mature . . Doc Holiday is the [ only ] Johnny Reb I have any positive things to say about . .🍺 🍺
I don't particularly like this version of what happened to doc Holliday when everybody knows that he didn't die the way they said in the movie otherwise why would Virgil and Morgan and the rest of Wyatt family have said to die in the okay corral other than that it was a good fictional movie although the ending completely messed up the real ending of such a great frontier family
Since Blazing Saddles introduced Randolph Scott he's been an icon!
This is one of those films where all the names should be changed, and any historical references, removed. Then, I could enjoy it. Authenticity and historical acuracy has been totally shredded. To attach the of beloved historical figures to this mess is a shame, especially since the main actors are quite good in their roles ; it just has almost nothing to do with reality. I am a true fan of Scott and Romero. Their fine talent was wasted in, what could have been a nice film. Just don't try to tell me, this has anything to do with true history.
Essa história é bem diferente sobre o Earp. Nela não aparecem os irmãos dele. Ele, sozinho, enfrentou os bandidos no Curral, o que não é verdade, ele estava com os irmãos e mais o Doc. Hollydey. E o Doc. não foi morto, morreu pela tuberculose. Por fugir tanto da verdadeira história, o filme não ficou tão bom. Earp tinha bigodão e o Scott não. Nota 7.
Ex military! A gun slinger!!! In the wild west? The end??? Roa Aotearoa nui.
It would be nice to finish the Wyatt Earp movie. But it stopped just when it was getting interesting. Can you fix it? Before I turn 90, literally.
