A roving former lawman and his friends reluctantly become the law in Tombstone. Surprisingly dark and realistic Western despite frequent bouts of humour and an amiable, easy-going performance from Walter Huston. Written by the star's 26-year-old son John Huston, it's a thinly veiled account of the clash between Wyatt Earp and the Clantons (quite why Universal felt it necessary to change the characters' names is a mystery), although Doc Holliday is missing. Packed with smart dialogue, tense situations and a real feel for detail, Law and Order is undeservedly forgotten
