Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Darling Clementine is a 1946 Western directed by John Ford. It is one of many, many film depictions of Wyatt Earp, and the first to be explicitly structured around the shootout at the OK Corral. Henry Fonda stars as Earp, with Victor Mature as Doc Holliday, Linda Darnell as Chihuahua, Walter Brennan as Old Man Clanton, and Cathy Downs as the (historically unattested) title character.The film opens with ex-lawman Earp working a cattle drive with his brothers. But when his cattle are rustled and his youngest brother killed, he accepts the marshalship of Tombstone in order to investigate and legally avenge these crimes. This sets in motion a ripple of escalating tensions that finally leads him to confront the Clanton family at the OK Corral. Viewers familiar with the film Tombstone or with non-fiction accounts will recognize few particulars of the story, as the facts have been liberally rearranged.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has nothing to do with the song — which does, however, serve as theme music.

Actor Allusion: Henry Fonda did the same slightly awkward high-stepping dance in his earlier appearance for John Ford, Young Mr. Lincoln. Ford deliberately included the dance number again because "he thought it would make a good shot."

Artistic License – History: The film diverges frequently from the known facts, particularly concerning the main characters' love lives and the timing and circumstances of various deaths. The plot is kicked off by the murder of the youngest Earp brother, James. In reality, James was the eldest, was uninvolved in the feud, and long outlived both Virgil and Morgan. (The 1957 film Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, though not a remake of Clementine, used James in a similar way.) Old Man Clanton was real and was the leader of the Cowboy faction opposed by the Earps, but he died months before the O.K. Corral gunfight.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The movie's version of the shootout is overtly long and ranges across parts of Tombstone. In Real Life it took less than a minute and was contained entirely in the corral.
