  • FRONTIER MARSHAL


    DIRECTED BY LEWIS SEILER
    PRODUCED BY WINFIELD R. SHEEHAN/ SOL M. WURTZEL
    FOX FILM CORPORATION



    Plot Summary
    Frontier Marshall stars George O'Brien as the legendary lawman, here rechristened "Michael Wyatt" for legal reasons.
    Riding into a lawless frontier town, Wyatt immediately butts head with the crooked town boss (Alan Edwards).
    Tensions methodically mount to the inevitable shootout -- not at the OK Corral, but at the local saloon,
    where the obligatory golden-hearted dance-hall hostess (Irene Bentley) takes a bullet intended for our hero.

    Tivia
    The first of several "official" versions of Stuart Lake's biography of Wyatt Earp,


    George O'Brien's last starring western for Fox Studios, Frontier Marshall
    was remade under the same title by Allan Dwan in 1939,
    then by John Ford as My Darling Clementine in 1946.


    Incidentally, supporting player Ward Bond was featured in all three films in three different roles!

  • Frontier Marshal is a 1934 western film directed by Lewis Seiler.
    Produced by Fox Film and Sol M. Wurtzel, the film is the first based on
    Stuart N. Lake's enormously popular but largely fictitious "biography"
    of Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal.
    A second version of the film, also produced by Wurtzel,
    was made in 1939, and a third interpretation by John Ford
    entitled My Darling Clementine was released in 1946.


    Wyatt Earp is renamed "Michael Wyatt" in this early film.
