Editing Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (section)

=== Film and television ===
With the widespread sales of televisions after World War II, producers spun out a large number of western-oriented shows. At the height of their popularity in 1959, there were more than two dozen "cowboy" programs on each week. At least six of them were directly or indirectly connected with Wyatt Earp: ''[[The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp]]'', ''[[Bat Masterson (TV series)|Bat Masterson]]'', ''[[Tombstone Territory]]'', ''[[Broken Arrow (TV series)|Broken Arrow]]'', ''[[Johnny Ringo (TV series)|Johnny Ringo]]'', and ''[[Gunsmoke]]''. [[Hugh O'Brian]] portrayed Earp on the namesake show ''Wyatt Earp'' which ran for six seasons, and he was forever associated with that role.<ref name=guinn/>

A 2003 episode of [[Discovery Channel]]'s ''[[Unsolved History]]''<ref>{{cite AV media |title=Shoot-Out at the O.K.

They utilized a movie set to recreate a space similar to the lot where the original gun fight took place. They confirmed that the front-to-back wrist wound suffered by Billy Clanton could only have occurred if his arm was raised in the manner of one holding a pistol, and that the [[gunpowder|black powder]] may have obscured the shooters' view of each other.<ref name=tt1248090/> The episode concluded that the three eyewitnesses for the prosecution (Sheriff Behan, Ike Clanton, and Billy Claiborne) likely offered perjured testimony. They found that Tom McLaury may have been hit by the shotgun round under his armpit as he reached over his horse for a rifle in his scabbard, as the horse turned away from him at the same time.<ref name=tt1248090/>

The stories about the gunfight written in the 20th century affected American culture. Numerous dramatic, fictional, and documentary works have been produced about or in reference to the event, with widely varying degrees of accuracy. These works include:
