We've already got a fine domestic disc with both versions of John Ford's fine Henry Fonda western. This Region B UK release duplicates that arrangement with different extras, and throws in a fine HD transfer of an earlier Allan Dwan version of the same story -- with strong similarities -- called Frontier Marshal. It stars Randolph Scott, Nancy Kelly, Cesar Romero and Binnie Barnes and it's very good. My Darling Clementine + Frontier Marshal Region B Blu-ray Arrow Academy (UK) 1946 / B&W / 1:37 flat Academy / 97 + 103 min.

My Darling Clementine
Directed by John Ford
Written by Samuel G. Engel and Winston Miller
USA, 1946
In John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), it is remarked that, “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” This seems especially apt when it comes to the treatment of the Arizona city Tombstone and the historic western yarn of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, the renowned confrontation between the Clantons on one side and the Earps with John “Doc” Holliday on the other. This famous battle, lasting all of about 30 seconds, took place the afternoon of Oct. 26, 1881, and in recalling this skirmish, multiple variations and interpretations have resulted in a cinematic legend in the making, with repeated appearances of its setting, characters, and actions. When the dust settles, one of the greatest depictions of the event, its decisive individuals, and the surrounding area and occurrences (true or false...

Have you seen the latest Google Doodle? It's an adorable claymation interactive picture that eventually takes you to the search results for Art Clokey. Tuesday (Oct. 12) would have been Clokey's 90th birthday.
Arthur "Art" Clokey, who died Jan. 8, 2010, is considered a trailblazer in stop-motion clay animation. It all started with the 1955 film "Gumbasia," which let Art and his wife Ruth invent Gumby and his horse Pokey. The title was a homage to Walt Disney's "Fantasia."
Samuel G. Engel, the then-president of the Motion Picture Association of America, was so impressed by "Gumbasia" that he financed the pilot for what eventually became "The Gumby Show."
Happy birthday, Art.
