gunfight at the o.k. corral (film)
clanton was portrayed by grant withers in the john ford classic "my darling clementine" (1946). lyle bettger portrayed clanton as a brutal thug in john sturges' film "gunfight at the o.k. corral" (1957). in sturges' sequel, "hour of the gun" (1967), he is portrayed very differently as a highly sophisticated figure by robert ryan. although the film is a generally accurate depiction of the events surrounding the gunfight at ok corral and the subsequent earp vendetta, it errs in showing clanton as having been tracked down in mexico and shot by wyatt. later films correctly show wyatt allowing clanton to live. clanton appears in the "doctor who" story "the gunfighters" (1966), played by william hurndell, which is largely based on the sturges film. it differs from history by showing clanton participate and die in the ok corral gunfight.
