A few reasons to enjoy Dodge City:

• It was filmed in stunning early technicolor the film has a rich saturated look to it.
• Dodge City had a very big budget, the money is definitely up on the screen.
• The film was directed by ace director Michael Curtiz.
• The film has about every actor Warner Brothers had under contract, particularly Alan Hale and Gunn "Big Boy" Williams,who were probably in about every western Warner's produced.
• The film is under 2 hours

• The film has Errol Flynn as the star.  Flynn was an Australian/English actor who had a real star presence. 
• Flynn's costar Olivia De Havilland was a talented actor and also very pretty.
• What western wouldn't be complete without a great villain, character actor Bruce Cabot got the part along with Victor Jory as his chief henchman.
