The director's take on an iconic historic event forever shifted audience expectations of the genre.
For legendary filmmaker John Ford, telling the story of the American West through a demystified lens is conveyed through a singular image. In 1946, a shot of Henry Fonda sitting on the porch of a local barbershop, leaning back on a chair as he looks upon the open vista is a minimalist example of Ford's painterly visual language. This shot defines Ford's remarkable film, My Darling Clementine, and the thesis of one of the genre's darkest turns.
On the surface, My Darling Clementine is guilty of the same misdemeanors of altering history onscreen. Isenberg states that the specificities of the Earp family's background, Wyatt's fortitude as a sheriff, the antagonism of the Clanton family, and the results of various events are adjusted, if not completely false. The Earps were hardly farmers or cowboys, but rather steadfast gamblers.
My Darling Clementine was released one year after the conclusion of World War II. The aimlessness of the characters and portrayal of bars and saloons submerged in shadows cast a reflective state of post-WWII cynicism. Wyatt Earp often shouts "What kind of town is this?" in moments of hectic disturbance. The idyllic towns and cities that Earp is used to encountering as a traveling farmer is a bygone.
