The relationship between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday is intriguing. In this film and in ''Tombstone'' (not sure about ''Wyatt Earp'' though) they are portrayed as having much tension between them, even though we know they were friends before the shoot-out. I think the choice to have these two figures depicted in such a way was to convey that the two would have represented what it was to be masculine in the Old West (Wyatt going through all the jobs of the Old West and both Doc and the Earps having a love for gambling). So, to have Doc and Wyatt be character foils to each other was maybe a directorial choice, created purely for dramatic effect. - David F | The relationship between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday is intriguing.
