Hello.

I believe that you're looking for "Showdown at the O.K. Corral" which
was produced by David Wolper as part of his CBS series, "Appointment
With Destiny"  (1971-73).

From the web page "Memorable TV Shows - USA":
APPOINTMENT WITH DESTINY
David Wolper / 7x60m-e / 1971-73
2.SHOWDOWN AT THE OK CORRAL,
http://www.memorabletv.com/usaa4.htm

A web page called "The T's" mentions "David L. Wolper's excellent
documentary on the subject, part of his "Appointment with Destiny"
series." See the last sentence of the entry under "Tombstone."

From the web page "Screenwriting Life":
"An example of such a series is David Wolper's Appointments with
Destiny on CBS. David had long believed the old cliche 'truth is
stranger than fiction,' and for years had wanted to tell true stories
exactly as they had happened, with no embellishments. He finally
convinced CBS to let him do it.
I enjoyed producing and directing two episodes of the series, The Last
Days of John Dillinger, and Showdown At OK Corral,"

Also see this message from the Video Addicts messageboard:
"WESTERN DOCUMENTY'S (sic)
