I think that the movie was okay, but the title was dumb. Clementine played little part in the plot, and has anybody else checked out the lyrics to "Oh My Darling Clementine?" They began and ended the movie with singing parts of the song including "dwelt a miner forty-niner"... not quite someone in a silver rush in AZ. And Clementine drowns. And I apologize to all those people who love Henry Fonda, but I don't care about him (probably because I've never seen him in anything else) and I think Victor Mature as Doc is pretty cute. | I think that the movie was okay, but the title was dumb.

| − | I enjoyed the film and Fonda is good, but how do we include a western and not have it be one with John Wayne, THE definitive western film star?-Bryan Mull | + | I enjoyed the film and Fonda is good, but how do we include a western and not have it be one with John Wayne, THE definitive western film star? Also I enjoyed seeing Walter Brennan not as a bumbling old coot.(note: the more I thought about it, most of Wayne's westerns don't lend themselves to an historical analysis as they don't include real historical figures like the denizens of Tombstone.) -Bryan Mull |
Bryan, I'm guessing Dr. M is trying to avoid lauding one of the most racist actors in the American canon, but it's just a thought. -Cash Nelson | Bryan, I'm guessing Dr. M is trying to avoid lauding one of the most racist actors in the American canon, but it's just a thought. -Cash Nelson | ||
