Gunfight at the OK Corral (R1975) - (Burt Lancaster) Italian locandina

This is a 13.25" x 27.25" Italian locandina poster designed by Enzo Nistri for a 1975 rerelease of the 1957 John Sturges film Gunfight at the OK Corral based on a screenplay by Leon Uris and starring Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp. Plot summary: In 1881 in Tombstone Arizona on October 26 the Earp brothers Wyatt, Morgan and Virgil and Doc Holliday have a quick shootout with an outlaw gang known as The Cowboys, killing three of them. The reason for the confrontation was Marshal Virgil Earp's decision to enforce a city ordinance requiring that weapons be deposited in a saloon during visits to Tombstone, but beyond that was a feud that had already been been simmering between the two groups. The event was recorded in 1931 by Stuart Lake in his book Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal, which later became the basis for this 1957 John Sturges film.

Cast and crew: John Sturges, Enzo Nistri, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Hal Wallis, Rhonda Fleming, Jo Van Fleet, John Ireland, Leon Uris, Lyle Bettger, Frank Faylen, Earl Holliman, Ted de Corsia, Dennis Hopper, Whit Bissell, George Mathews, John Hudson, DeForest Kelley, Martin Milner
