OK Corral-C. Phelps

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is the first Western film to introduce two alpha males. Both Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday are strong, independent cowboys. It might seem that Wyatt is the alpha male and Doc a sidekick but it is evident from the first meeting that Doc is his own man when he says, "The name of this game is solitaire". He does not follow Wyatt like the traditional sidekick. He has personal interest in paying his debt to Wyatt and finding Ringo to kill him. There is no question that Wyatt is an alpha male, even with the role as anti-gun lawman. His decision to be judge and jury as well as his power and courage solidify the alpha male role. But, Doc Holliday has all of the same characteristics. They must share the title.
