Played against the character of Val Kilemer as Doc Holiday they were absolutely perfect. Two extremely violent men and with just one a bit more humane than the other. However, Doc Holiday had a sense of humor as opposed to Curly. It was two brilliant actors in perfect sync. Tombstone was a great movie.
The end was bitter sweet. Doc Holiday looked down and saw he had not boots on as he died, and said, "I be damned."
