Quote from ringo kid

hawkwill,mature was in clementine not frontier marshal.

Quite right you are Ringo Kid, but I STILL, after two months and 13 or so days here, I haven't mastered the Multi Quote thing.....should have just copied and pasted as I usually do. I was referring to the quote in the USER REVIEW posted by Ethan below that said:

"He doesn't have the depth of Victor Mature's tortured Doc, in what was perhaps his best performance in any film."

Now, I haven't seen all of Vic's films, but I have seen this and China Doll. To ME, China Doll was his best performance yet. Just my opinion, of course!
Happy Saturday, Keith

Frontier Marshal is a 1939 western film starring Randolph Scott
as Wyatt Earp.
It is the second film produced by Sol M. Wurtzel based on Stuart N. Lake's
highly fictionalized account of Earp, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal.
An earlier version was Wurtzel's Frontier Marshal, filmed in 1934.
A later version of the story was filmed by John Ford in 1946,
My Darling Clementine, which included whole scenes reshot
from the 1939 film.

Frontier Marshal co-stars Nancy Kelly, Cesar Romero as "Doc Halliday"
(the name was changed for the film from the original "Holliday"),
John Carradine, and Lon Chaney, Jr..
Ward Bond appears as the town marshal; Bond was also in the 1934 version,
and later appears as Morgan Earp in Ford's film.
Frontier Marshal was directed by Alan Dwan.

Thought Vic Mature was excellent in this, but I thought he gave a spectacular performance outside of his normal persona in CHINA DOLL! KPKEITH,,,,,,,,,,,,good for you WARD! Ward was excellent in China Doll, and as I have said before did a whole day's dialogue with a broken bone is his hip so Mature would not miss his plane the next day. If you freeze frame his sitting down in Vic's place, you will see the agony on his face and how he has to let himself down every so slowly leaning on his fists!
