Dodge City (1939) ****

Dodge City (1939) is good old-fashioned fun featuring derring-do from that classic derring-doer Errol Flynn, loveliness and spunk from the lovely and spunky Olivia de Havilland, villainous villainy from Bruce Cabot + gang, and humorous sidekickery from Alan Hale. Plus it has one of the most epic bar brawls put to film and from what I can recall doesn't even feature a single horse fall (I love westerns, but I hate those). All this in Technicolor (not yet a common practice in those days), expertly directed by that hit-making machine Michael Curtiz, and released in 1939, considered one of the greatest years in film history.
