| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumHandsome production based on oft-told Wyatt Earp confrontation...Lancaster and Douglas are outstanding. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasIt's not as poetic as My Darling Clementine or as historically accurate as Sturges' sequel-remake, Hour Of The Gun, but it is a wonderful evocation of the brassy Westerns of the 50s, when Burt and Kirk demonstrated more machismo than a whole posse of Arnies or Slys. |
| The Observer (UK)Ian JohnsPassion, certainly, is lacking, and being a 'town' Western, it's all very conventionally domestic. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherIt is firmly directed by John Sturges (of Bad Day at Black Rock fame), and it is ruggedly acted by all and sundry—of which there is quit[e] a heap. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIt's a slick, empty spectacle, with antipathetic stars and a director with no basic sympathy for the myths he's treating. |
