Episode 56 – Oh My Darlin’! My Darling Clementine

My Darling Clementine

My Darling Clementine, the film we are discussing today is the first film I saw in film school. The first class was a genre class and we started with Westerns. I am a fan of Henry Fonda and was looking forward to watching some of his earlier work. The film takes place in 1882. Starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp, Victor Mature as Doc Holiday, Catherine Downs as the titled Clementine Carter and Linda Darnell as Chihuahua. It is part Drama, part Romance and part Western. Please join us as we break down this film and some of it’s filmic techniques that make it a classic.

Clementine Carter: “I should think that if nothing else, you’d at least be flattered to have a girl chase you.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• The Monument Valley scenery
• Using the diploma glass to reflect doc 
• The amount of glassware that was sacrificed 
• The walk to the church clip from YouTube
