In 1946, John Ford made a film about a legend of law and order in the American West as a validation of the American past for the immediate post-World War II era. In an age of doubt and uncertainty, the serene but resolute figure of Wyatt Earp was designed to alleviate anxiety about the irrelevance of the past for the new era
