JOHN FORD „POET LAUREATE“

„Shakespeare in Tombstone“

„MY DARLING CLEMENTINE“ ist der größte mythopoetische Western“  Joe Hembus (Westernlexikon)

Ford's decline in critical esteem tended to coincide with his return to the Old West on a regular basis. In this respect My Darling Clementine is the work more of a poet laureate than of a poet, a Western for viewers with little interest in the genre. It is a Western also in which the realistic touches outweigh the romantic flourishes, and in which the plot is merely a pretext to document the period.

What are most memorable, however, are not the confrontations and the gunfight. Ford's Westerns never depended excessively on the machismo match-ups of quick draws, but rather on the normally neglected intervals (scenes) between the gun fights, when men received haircut, courted their sweethearts, and even partook of fragments of frontier culture. Alan Mowbry's Granville Thorndyke, a soused Shakespearian actor, pops up so prominently in Clementine that we are reminded once more of a certain degree of self-consciousness in Ford's depiction of his acton characters. Ford's people very often seem aware that they are striking a pose for posterity, or having their existence on earth preserved for all time on a daguerreotype. But even as they preen themselves in all their pompous pastness, they scratch around for the nagging necessities of survival. They clothes itch and their stomachs growl, and time hangs heavy on their hand.“
