- -well then, say hello to the first ever full feature film, the 1897 reality drama that became the first international blockbuster, Fitz vs Corbett.
Also featured the first ever filmed phantom knockout punch and the first to star a fleet footed, fast handed loose lipped unmarked dandy against a blunt force, no nonsense, take no prisoners juggernaut.
Legendary lawman Wyatt Earp in Corbett corner with his posse to insure FairPlay with Fitz hiring his own guns as Bat Masterson in his bowler mans the bell.
