New Westerns Column Posted at Classic Movie Hub
My new piece is on a trio of lesser-known Wyatt Earp films, FRONTIER MARSHAL (1939), TOMBSTONE: THE TOWN TOO TOUGH TO DIE (1942), and WICHITA (1955). The movies star Randolph Scott, Richard Dix, and Joel McCrea, respectively.

What a great Christmas present from you to us, Laura! I'll be reading your new piece over Christmas (as the grandkids allow) and commenting as time permits. Earp was played by 3 of my absolute favourite western actors in these three films. So I look forward to 'diving in'.
Thanks, Jerry! I appreciate you taking the time to read it and am so glad I could write about your favorite actors! Hope you'll enjoy it. :)
Best wishes,
Laura
I agree with Jerry about Wichita being a gem. Fine review, Laura of a picture that surprised me in every detail. Even the song was fine, and I have been in Wichita. It is, as Tex sings, a very nice town. A treasure. Bluray would be ideal.
Laura, another fine write-up. It stirs my memories of other Wyatt Earp/Doc Holliday loosely based movies. Keep up the good writing.
Thank you, Barrylane! Wichita is such a lovely movie -- wouldn't it be special on Blu-ray?
Thank you, Walter! There are so many interesting Earp and Earp-inspired films, it's a subgenre unto itself! These are definitely just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. :)
Best wishes,
Laura
