Fun to watch. The video quality is not bad for such an old film and you can get a general idea of what it may have been like to be there. It was an early box office hit and the original footage was probably more than 90 minutes long at a time when most movies were of a much shorter duration. Some sources say Wyatt Earp was the referee and that Bat Masterson handled the bell.
